Pre-MOT checklist for Macan owners

Based on the failure profile above, ten minutes with a torch before your test removes the most likely fail items:

Check tread with the 20p test and inspect sidewalls for cracking — tyres close to the limit are the country’s most common advisory
Look underneath for corrosion around sills and subframes, especially on older cars
Feel for a spongy pedal or pulling to one side; check pad wear through the wheel spokes if visible
Walk round with all lights on: one blown bulb is the most avoidable fail there is
Bounce each corner and listen for clonks over speed bumps — suspension is this model’s (and the UK’s) top failure system

Engine management light on?

An illuminated engine management light is a Major MOT defect. Read the code, repair the cause, then confirm the light stays off — clearing a code alone is not a repair.

Same-vehicle follow-up

The defect groups above are a single-year count. The prognosis registry follows the same vehicle_id into the next MOT year. The extracts do not record the repair, a turbo part number, or a gearbox type.

Tyres: advisory follow-up · did the same fail item hold
Body, chassis, structure: advisory follow-up · did the same fail item hold
Brakes: advisory follow-up · did the same fail item hold
Suspension: advisory follow-up · did the same fail item hold

On this model, these certificate lines have a published follow-up (cohort at least 200 cars):

Condition has a cut but not deep enough to reach the ply or cords — 448 cars · 3.3% failed the same item the next year
Pins and bushes pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement — 574 cars · 2.6% failed the same item the next year
Tread depth worn close to legal limit/worn on edge — 3,518 cars · 2.5% failed the same item the next year
Brake pads wearing thin — 1,176 cars · 1.0% failed the same item the next year
Condition slightly damaged/cracking or perishing — 628 cars · 0.8% failed the same item the next year
