Maidstone Records Rising Dangerous MOT Failures as Malling Repair Services Issues Winter Readiness Alert

MOT Failure Trends - Maidstone, Kent Malling Repair Services, located at 34-38 Foster St, Maidstone ME15 6NH, has released new MOT inspection findings showing a rising number of dangerous MOT failures among vehicles tested across Maidstone and neighbouring Kent areas. The increase is largely attributed to tyre deterioration, brake wear, suspension issues, and steering faults identified during routine MOT checks.
Internal data from the garage indicates that vehicles categorised with "dangerous defects" have increased steadily over the past several months. Under DVSA regulations, such defects pose an immediate safety risk and prohibit the vehicle from being driven until corrective repairs are completed.
The growth in dangerous MOT failures aligns with longer service gaps, reduced routine maintenance, and the effects of colder seasonal changes. As temperatures drop, tyres, braking systems, and key mechanical components face additional strain, leading to a higher likelihood of sudden failure during winter driving conditions.
