FAQ

There are many reasons why a commercial vehicle will fail an MOT. Some of the reasons for MOT failures could include faults with lights, suspension, and brakes.

Most vehicles will not fail an MOT inspection, provided you use the correct maintenance provider.

Despite the fact that advisories don't cause your vehicle to fail an MOT, if the examiner lists and advisory then you should not ignore it.

In fact you should rectify it as soon as possible. Items such as worn tires, fluid leaks and holes in the exhaust system may not cause your car to fail.

PRS stands for Pass after Rectification at Station this is the process in which minor defects may be rectified within one hour after the test, but before recording the results on the MOT Testing Service.

For HGV transport operators, those MOT results, be they first time passes, PRS (pass with rectification at station) or, worst of all, a fail, are increasingly serious and can affect you roadworthiness if not addressed.

If a vehicle operator is proactive with maintenance, they should never have an MOT fail because the MOT test would be a simple confirmation that all is in order.

However, If a vehicle operator is reactive with vehicle maintenance, they might/could easily get an MOT fail, which WILL then impact their OCRS score because the "C" stands for 'compliance,' which is absent if a vehicle fails the MOT test.

All fails do eventually all find their way onto your OCRS (operator compliance risk score) with which VOSA.
