What the MOT tests show
What we know
3.1 fails per 100 MOT tests at 16 years, against 7.5 for all class 4 vehicles tested at 16 (all test years). The Renault Master fails less often here.
Why it matters
A tyres fail stops the car passing until it is fixed.
What to check
Check the tread across the full width of each tyre, including the inner edge, look for cuts or bulges in the sidewalls, and note uneven wear that points to alignment problems.
The Renault Master is a commercial or van-based vehicle: it is compared with all class 4 vehicles, cars and vans together, so part of any difference can come from how vans are used.
