Common MOT Failures Leading to Car Scrapping

Several prevalent MOT failures often result in vehicles being scrapped due to costly repairs:

  • Lighting and Signalling Issues: Faulty headlights, brake lights, or indicators are leading causes of MOT failures.
  • Brake Deficiencies: Worn brake pads or discs significantly impact vehicle safety and frequently lead to MOT failures.
  • Tyre Problems: Insufficient tread depth or damage to tyres is a common reason for MOT failures.
  • Suspension Faults: Issues with shock absorbers or springs can cause MOT failures and are often costly to repair.
  • Emissions Failures: Vehicles exceeding emission limits may fail the MOT, with repairs sometimes being uneconomical.

Addressing these issues promptly can prevent MOT failures and the potential need to scrap the vehicle.
