Brakes are one of the more common reasons vehicles fail their MOT, so it's worth thinking about whether to have them checked beforehand.
Why brakes cause MOT failures
Can worn brakes fail an MOT? Yes. Brakes are a major part of the MOT inspection, including component condition, operation, braking performance and efficiency.
The benefit of checking beforehand
- Avoiding the inconvenience of an unexpected failure
- Potentially avoiding a retest fee
- Time to plan and budget for any repairs needed
- Peace of mind that the vehicle is safe beforehand
