Identification of the vehicle — 4.7% of failures

The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50.

Motorcycle tyres and wheels — 3.1% of failures
Motorcycle tyres and wheels issues account for 3.1% of MOT failures on the Honda Vfr400rr. 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 structure and attachments — 3.1% of failures
