Will a tyre pressure warning light mean a failed MOT?
There is a fault with my tyre pressure sensor. The tyre pressures are correct but the warning light keeps coming on. Would this fault invalidate the MOT?

The MoT inspection of the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) applies to cars first registered on or after 1 January 2012. If the light indicates a fault with the TPMS system then the car will fail the MoT with a Major defect.
