Motorcycle tyres — 1.8% of failures
Motorcycle tyres issues account for 1.8% of MOT failures on the Yamaha Ysr80.

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.
Identification of the vehicle — 1.8% of failures
