3008 Gt Line Premium P-Tech Ss: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 1,595 MOT tests, the 3008 Gt Line Premium P-Tech Ss returns 87.4% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a seriously damaged tyre. A tyre with the cords showing and brake pads worn below 1.5 mm round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 25,930, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
