Pre-MOT checklist for Proace owners

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

Walk round with all lights on: one blown bulb is the most avoidable fail there is
Feel for a spongy pedal or pulling to one side; check pad wear through the wheel spokes if visible
Look underneath for corrosion around sills and subframes, especially on older cars
Check tread with the 20p test and inspect sidewalls for cracking — tyres close to the limit are the country’s most common advisory
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.

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

Brake pads wearing thin — 806 cars · 4.8% failed the same item the next year
Tread depth worn close to legal limit/worn on edge — 937 cars · 2.9% failed the same item the next year
Brake discs worn, but not excessively — 265 cars · 1.5% failed the same item the next year
Condition slightly damaged/cracking or perishing — 401 cars · 1.5% failed the same item the next year
Brake discs worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened — 737 cars · 0.7% failed the same item the next year
