flag Over 3.1 million UK cars failed MOTs due to tyres, with experts urging annual checks for 5+ year old tyres and replacement at 10 years.

flag Over 3.1 million UK vehicles failed MOTs due to tyre issues from July 2023 to July 2024, according to Freedom of Information data. flag Experts warn that tyre age and rubber condition—beyond just tread depth—often go overlooked, with 60% of drivers replacing tyres only when necessary. flag Tyres over five years old should be inspected annually, and those 10 years or older should be replaced regardless of tread, even if they appear intact. flag The DOT code on the sidewall reveals manufacturing date, and drivers are urged to check for cracks, low pressure, and prolonged inactivity, which can accelerate degradation. flag Regular at-home checks can prevent MOT failures and improve safety.
