Suspension — 29.4% of failures
Suspension issues account for 29.4% of MOT failures on the Proton Gls Auto. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Tyres — 29.4% of failures
Tyres issues account for 29.4% of MOT failures on the Proton Gls Auto. 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.
Driver's View of the Road — 20.6% of failures
Driver's View of the Road issues account for 20.6% of MOT failures on the Proton Gls Auto. Driver's View of the Road issues are a common cause of MOT failure.
