Identification of the vehicle — 3.8% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 3.8% of MOT failures on 2021 Yamaha Wr models. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50.

Look for fluid leaks under the car near the front wheels.
