What we know

0.2 fails per 100 MOT tests at 10 years, against 0.4 for all class 4 vehicles tested at 10 (all test years). That is about average.

Why it matters

What to check

Look for cracked or badly kerbed rims and check that every wheel nut is present; a vibration through the wheel at speed points to a bent rim or balance.
