I've got cheap Chinese one's on my bike Bazz.

They seem to be accurate and also show the tyre temperature which is worth knowing on a bike. I'm well pleased with them.
 
Guessing Bazz means OEM? Bet they ain't cheap.

Are they MOT failure if not working when fitted from new?

You can often get third-part sensors that talk to the OEM receiver in the vehicle but trickier to setup.

Yes and No. Many vehicles had TPMS before it was obligitory and on those vehicles, if the TPMS failed it would not be an MOT fail.

I am not sure if an add-on TPMS system was fitted to a vehicle that was obliged legally to have an operational TPMS, it would be ok in MOT terms? As the requirement was to have TPMS, don't really see why it shouldn't be acceptable, but guess it is down to the regulations in the MOT testers manual.
