Motorcycle tyres and wheels — 16.7% of failures
Motorcycle tyres and wheels issues account for 16.7% of MOT failures on the Honda Vf 700 Magna. 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.
Motorcycle brakes — 13.3% of failures
Motorcycle brakes issues account for 13.3% of MOT failures on the Honda Vf 700 Magna. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Motorcycle lighting and signalling — 10.0% of failures
Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues account for 10.0% of MOT failures on the Honda Vf 700 Magna. Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues are a common cause of MOT failure.
