listy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Last year my supra got an advisory for wear on the inside of the front right tyre. Still easily legal, but it hasn't been changed and MOT is due this month. It's only covered 1500 miles this period, and the tyre is still legal. Will there be any comebacks for the same advisory twice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't know how it's over there, but here if they are nice enough to tell you that a part is starting to get worn and that you should consider replacing it instead of giving you a fault that requires immediate replacing to get the car to pass inspection. I would def not risk going to the MOT without having that fixed.... This is in Norway though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Ive had items marked as an advisory one year, and then not even noted as an advisory a year later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It's either legal or not. You could run something marginal and worthy of only an advisory for years so long as it didn't deteriorate into the fail category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could run something marginal and worthy of only an advisory for years so long as it didn't deteriorate into the fail category. This. If it isn't illegal then they can't do you for it. If they marked down low tread but you only drove the car 300 miles in one year then they can't fail you for still having low tread but not enough to warrant replacement, if that makes sense.

listy Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Happy days. I thought that was the case, but wanted to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 If you have tread over 75% of the tyre, thats legal. My GTR has advisories for 'car underside under tray fitted, unable to inspect' every year since it was MOT'd. An advisory is just that, advice.

Graham1984 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Is it due to an alignment setting that your tyre is wearing on the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Is it due to an alignment setting that your tyre is wearing on the inside? It is mate yes. I'm moving house next month so I can't get it sorted until then. It's been off the road for 3 months over winter and before that the gearbox went, so never really had the need to get it done desperately. It will be sorted before the summer though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Too much toe in or toe out I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I had a similar problem, but both my front insides used to look like a potato peeler had been at it. Johnny G sent me a link and I ised their settings which solved it. It gets annoying replacing front tyres as fast as the rears after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
