Across 559 million UK MOT records analysed by DVSA between 2005-2024, electrical, suspension, and brake faults are the three highest-volume failure categories — together accounting for the majority of unscheduled garage visits. Tyre tread depth is the single highest-volume specific reason cars fail their annual test.

- Brake performance — pads, discs, and roller-tester imbalance — every UK garage offering MOTs covers brake checks.
- Tyres — tread depth below 1.6mm is the single highest-volume specific failure across the UK fleet.
