This relates to my daughters Ford KA (2)
can I just add that I am NOT allowed near the car normally!!!!

It failed it's mot this morning on tyres, Specifically:

"tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when a minimum depth required is 1.0mm. Nearside Front [5.2.3 (e)]"

ditto offside.

Now when I just looked at the tyres ALL tread depth markers are below the surface of the remaining tread, ie at least 1.6mm + remaining.
Yes the outer edges are worn, but what happened to the central 3/4 tread part of the rules???

I have been tasked with sorting new tyres, and will be done as soon as....

Just wondered if this is something new? ie the 1.0mm across the whole tyre area.

Oh, it was Halfrords and they quoted over £700 to fix ALL of the issues they found. She told them "I'll get dad to look at it!" their reply was "Oh"
