What the MOT tests show

What we know

0.7 fails per 100 MOT tests at 8 years, against 6.1 for all class 4 vehicles tested at 8 (all test years). That is about average.

Why it matters

A suspension fail stops the car passing until it is fixed.

What to check

Push down hard on each corner: it should rise once and settle. Listen for knocks over speed bumps and look behind each wheel for snapped springs or split rubber bushes.
