If you own or are considering buying a 2015 Morgan Plus 4, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment: Walk around the car and check every light โ€” 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. With relatively low average mileage of 12,326 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment โ€” 1.2% of failures

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 1.2% of MOT failures on 2015 Morgan Plus 4 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. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: ยฃ5โ€“50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light โ€” 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.

Brakes โ€” 0.3% of failures

Brakes issues account for 0.3% of MOT failures on 2015 Morgan Plus 4 models. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components โ€” any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: ยฃ150โ€“400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel โ€” 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).

Body, chassis, structure โ€” 0.1% of failures

Body, chassis, structure issues account for 0.1% of MOT failures on 2015 Morgan Plus 4 models. Body and structure failures include excessive corrosion, sharp edges, loose panels, and damage to the vehicle frame. Rust is the primary concern, especially on older vehicles or those exposed to road salt. Typical repair costs: ยฃ100โ€“500+. Pre-MOT check: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely.
