will these fail an MOT..

[declantg]

So got my mot this weekend just wanna be ready if it fails so here are bits I'm worried about.

Running defilter
t piece in brake vacuum for when I tried a DV
low discs and pads (upgrading soon so no point replacing)
lower engine mount knocking pretty badly
decat

[Midnightclub]

From what i can tell none of that should cause it to fail, if they fail it for a decat then you should probably go to another garage...

[declantg]

That's okay then, just hoping I don't suffer the 5dr rusty arches

[Midnightclub]

Rusty arch wouldn't fail anyway, only if it's structural and within 30cm diameter of a wheel IIRC

[Niall]

Declan its not just 5 doors I don't think. Think it's mainly ph1s and 2s

[declantg]

This is starting to make me worry less about it! Every day my dad tells me it will fail...

[Midnightclub]

End of the day mate, worst case it fails, best case it passes, just chill bro

[declantg]

Was hoping to pick up some seats this weekend though! Annoying as I have work 2-10 everyday now. So can't just sort bits out!

[Connor]

Depends how low the pads are and what state the discs are in, could fail it on those

[Midnightclub]

Ahh must've somehow missed that.. my rear pads were fairly low... only got an advisory for them though

[Connor]

Like i said, depends how low, under 1.5mm is a fail

[Jake]

wont fail on engine mounts or defilter as mine passed with both those =L

[4WayDiablo]

There is a limit on brake pad depth although they're not allowed to take the wheel off to check :-) must be visual

[daddyfixit]

rusty wheel arches do fail mot, as jagged edges are a risk to pedestrians

if you can see through the whel trim/alloy wheel ,then if pads look to be below 1.5 mm they fail.

[Mitch]

should all be good if the pads are not too low and the discs are in a ok condition, think im right in saying engine mounts are not looked at in the test? and they cant fail the de filter or the de cat!

[Toms306]

Brakes will more than likely be an advisory unless they're that bad lol, also Id expect 'oil leak' which I had advised on most of my pugs lol. And headlight aim will probably be out (which is a fail if bad enough) but they should just adjust this for you anyway.
