An insurance broker has published what it says are the most common reasons cars fail their MOT in the winter months - with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment causing the most problems.
Insurance broker One Sure Insurance analysed data from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency to determine the most common reasons for MOT failure among class 4 vehicles (cars, vans, motorhomes and other small commercial vehicles) in the October-December quarter.
It turns out that drivers need to be especially vigilant when monitoring their car this time of year, as almost a third (29 per cent) of cars fail their winter MOT, with an average of 2.5 issues detected.
