What it fails on, and why

Other23.5% of failures

This covers a range of smaller items, from a non-working horn to a warning light left on.

Lamps & electrical23.5% of failures

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.
