Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems
Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) continuously monitor tyre pressures using sensors connected to the tyre valve, a process known as direct TPMS. Some vehicles are equipped with indirect TPMS, which operates based on the vehicle’s speed sensor and ABS. In such cases, the TPMS system provides visual warnings to the driver in the event of any changes in tyre pressure.
Although tyre pressure itself isn't checked in an MOT, legislation introduced in 2015 means that every car with a faulty or failed tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) will fail its MOT. Since 2012, new cars produced in Europe have been legally required to have a TPMS, so if you've bought a car in recent years it's likely that the functionality of this system will affect your MOT results.
