Suspension — 24.5% of failures
Suspension issues account for 24.5% of MOT failures on 2012 Ford Transit 100 T350l D/c Rwd models.

Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment — 20.5% of failures
Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment issues account for 20.5% of MOT failures on 2012 Ford Transit 100 T350l D/c Rwd models. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail.

Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Tyres — 11.3% of failures
Tyres issues account for 11.3% of MOT failures on 2012 Ford Transit 100 T350l D/c Rwd models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
