By doing regular checks of tyres, keeping the pressure at the right level, and taking seasonal tyre selection into account, you may reduce risks. This can also extend the life of car tyres.

In the case of your existing car, use the MOT in the same way you use all other aspects of vehicle maintenance; that is, judging the reliability of the car as a whole. Keep on with proper servicing and solve emerging issues on time to have a reliable mode of transport.
