Brakes — 67.7% of failures
Brakes issues account for 67.7% of MOT failures on the Iveco 35c12hpi. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos.

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).
