Advisories, Minors, Majors and Dangers
Based on the UK MOT testing system implemented on May 20, 2018, vehicle defects are classified into three categories, Dangerous, Major, and Minor, along with Advisories. These categories determine whether your vehicle passes or fails its MOT and indicate the urgency of repairs.
1. Dangerous Defects (Fail)
Definition: The defect presents an immediate risk to road safety or has a serious impact on the environment.
Outcome: Immediate MOT failure.
Action: You cannot drive the vehicle, not even to a garage. It must be repaired on-site or transported by a recovery truck.
Examples: Severely worn brakes, steering failure, loose wheels, or a bonnet that could open while driving.
2. Major Defects (Fail)
Definition: The defect compromises the vehicle's safety, puts other road users at risk, or has an environmental impact.
Outcome: MOT failure.
Action: The vehicle must be repaired immediately. It can only be driven if the previous MOT is still valid, or to a garage for repairs, provided the car is deemed roadworthy.
Examples: Worn brake pads, damaged suspension, faulty headlights, or a broken exhaust system.
3. Minor Defects (Pass)
Definition: A defect that has no significant effect on the safety of the vehicle or the environment.
Outcome: The vehicle passes its MOT.
Action: No immediate repair is required to pass, but the defect is recorded and should be fixed as soon as possible.
Examples: Slightly damaged wiper blades or small oil leaks.
4. Advisories (Pass)
Definition: Components that are not yet broken or defective but show wear and tear and will likely need to be replaced soon.
Outcome: The vehicle passes its MOT.
Action: No legal requirement to fix, but should be monitored to avoid future failures or safety risks.
Examples: Tyres getting close to the 1.6mm legal limit, slight surface corrosion, or slightly worn brake pads

Blandford Forum MOT Tips
What is an MOT advisory?
An advisory means the vehicle passed but certain components may need attention soon.
Is an MOT the same as a service?
No, an MOT is a legally required safety test. A service is maintenance to keep your car in order between MOTs but they are not legally required.
Do electric cars need MOTs?
Yes, electric vehicles still require MOTs, just without emissions test.
