Is a TPMS fault an MoT failure?
Will my 2008-registered Hyundai i30 fail an MoT if it has a warning light indicating low tyre pressure even when tyres are correctly inflated, or a warning indicating a fault with the TPMS system? I have read that TPMS is only part of the MoT for vehicles registered 2012 onwards, but want to confirm.

The MoT regulations were changed in 2015 to incorporate TPMS for vehicles registered on or after January 1st 2012, so your 2008 Hyundai should be exempt. A good MoT tester will know this, but in case it is flagged as a failure you can show them the relevant regulations here: www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-inspection-manual-for-priv...3
