It's mainly the rim protector part of the tyre that is damaged although there is a small amount of damage to the side wall.
IMO its an MOT failure, is there anyone out there that can give me a proffessional answer?

my mate failed on less damage...id say FAIL but not a prof. perspective....
Lets forget about MOTs and look at it from an alternative perspective. Would you want to blat down the M-way at 80mph sitting on that tyre.......I wouldnt. MOT pass or not it belongs in the nearest skip.

And why would you be doing 80mph?
Dom
Getting away from the Police after someone in a wheelchair!
That's more than a scuff. Definite fail IMO.

A car went for an NCT with a lump missing from the thread right to the canvass and passed. My car was 2 behind that car...
Then again I'm not surprised, anythings possible here

That's nothing Shadey...
[I'm going to be shot.] We have a Mercedes-Benz Vito, it went for test today and the front tyres were pretty much wire brushes on the inside, MOT tester shredded his hands on them and the tyre place shredded his gloves on them!

Quite obviously he's on the continent.And why would you be doing 80mph?

If a tyre fails the MOT its obviously not road worthy.
BUT, if it passes an MOT then its deamed road worthy so if the tyre was on Doms speeding(80mph overtaking maneuver) car and blew out causing an accident who would be to blame, Dom for not changing it or the MOT tester for passing it?

MOT is only valid on the day so after that the MOT guy could just say it must have got alot worse since i tested it
if it did pass it would definitely get a adversary

Thing is... I'd change it without an MoT tester looking at it, or I wouldnt put it on my car no matter how cheap...
The carcase could have internal damage that wont show up until the tyre is loaded laterally & at speed then bang...
No not for me anyhow... scrap it!

Hmmmmm....seems we have a Pedant amongst us
Would you like me to edit my original post for you to reflect the fact the national speed limit is in fact 70mph? Although many, myself included choose to ignore it on M-ways and instead take an indicated 80mph as a limit on the basis your speedo could be overeading by up to 10% and the fact Mr Plod generally gives you 10% + 2-5mph before turning his blue lights on?
Fact is over more than two decades and several hundred thousand miles on the slabs at an indicated 80 I have never had a tug from `th-owd bill so...ergo: My system works!
However........I appreciate your concern, and its really not a problem for me if you want me to state 70 instead of 80 ...just say the word.
