Harley Davidson Vrscr MOT failure rate
What a Harley Davidson Vrscr fails its MOT on, and the part that fixes each.
About 7.4% of Harley Davidson Vrscrs fail their MOT, most often on lamps & electrical, tyres, registration plate, other. Confirm any part against your registration or VIN before buying, and have safety-critical work done by a competent mechanic.
What it fails on, and why
Lighting is the single most common MOT failure and the cheapest to put right. A blown headlight, brake-light or number-plate bulb, a cracked lens, or a headlamp beam that points too high or low will all fail. Most are a two-minute bulb swap.
Tyres fail for tread below the 1.6mm legal limit across the central three-quarters, uneven or exposed-cord wear, or sidewall damage. The tester inspects all four; a single illegal tyre is a fail.
A missing, damaged, dirty or incorrectly-spaced number plate, or one using the wrong font, will fail. A replacement plate is inexpensive.
This covers a range of smaller items, from a non-working horn to a warning light left on.
The parts that fix each
If your car has just failed, you have 10 working days to fix the items and get a free partial retest. Confirm the exact fitment against your registration or VIN before buying.
