Do I need a spare tyre to pass MOT?


No, you do not need a spare tyre to pass an MOT. The test only requires you to have a legal and roadworthy tyre on each wheel that meets the minimum tread depth requirements. Therefore, you can pass an MOT without a spare tyre

Can you pass an MOT with a spare tyre on your car?

Yes, you can pass an MOT with a spare tyre on your car as long as it meets the minimum legal requirements. It is recommended to replace a punctured tyre with a new tyre as soon as possible and not rely on the spare tyre for an extended period.
