TPMS to be part of the MOT from 2012

The latest EU directives have decreed that from 2012, Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) will form part of the MOT test. The latest commission directive, 2010/48/EU, states that from January 2012, any vehicle originally fitted with TPMS will have to have it fully operable in order to pass the annual MOT test. This will then mean that even one faulty sensor will be enough to score a ‘fail’.
