I was advised on an mot that there was feathering on my tyres and advised also to get the rear tracking fixed and possibly tyres.
With the rear tracking fixed, the sound persisted. I suspected the bearings as experienced with a previous car.
On a service some miles later I asked for the bearings to be assessed and fixed if necessary.
I was immediately advised on the feathering of my rear tyres and given a comparison of their tyre charges vs other competit…
Will definitely be using them in future, thank you!

Advisories vs Failures - Understanding MOT results
MOT test results consist of passes, passes with advisories, or failures based on safety, with dangerous or major faults causing an immediate, non-roadworthy failure, while advisories and minors indicate issues that are currently safe but need monitoring or near-future repairs. Understanding the difference helps manage maintenance, costs, and road safety.
MOT Result Categories
- Pass: The vehicle meets minimum legal standards.
- Pass with Advisories: The vehicle passes, but the tester notes wear or damage that isn't yet dangerous but will likely become so.
- Fail: The vehicle has issues affecting safety or environmental impact. It must be repaired and retested before being driven, though it can sometimes be driven to a garage for repairs if the previous MOT is still valid.
- Fail with Dangerous faults: Direct risk to road safety or the environment. The vehicle cannot be driven, even if the current MOT is valid
Preparing your car for a successful MOT
Prepare your car for a successful MOT by checking lights, tyres, brakes and ensuring no warning lights are on.
Clean the car inside and out, ensure screenwash is topped up, and check the wipers and functionality of the seatbelts.
Secure any loose bodywork so it doesn't pose a risk for causing an accident and check the tread depth on your tyres is atleast 1.6mm.
