Will a faulty TPMS system cause my car to fail the MoT?
Can you tell me if a faulty tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an MoT failure point?

Is the TPMS light illuminated? If so, it can mean a number of things (depending on the car).
The MoT tester will only fail the vehicle if it’s clear that the lamp indicates a TPMS system malfunction and not simply indicating that one or more of the tyre pressures is low.
