VOSA opinion of what type of MOT failure's MAJOR 🤔

There is more meat on a KFC chicken drumstick than on those pads.

A couple of weeks ago I had advisories for front tyres. Should I start a tyre thread.

Depends whether the tyres are worn down that far ...

Just to be pedantic it’s DVSA not VOSA , the plate issue is more about big brother and the cash cow that is speed cameras and ANPR. Pads need to be below 1.6mm lining thickness to fail

Or possibly identifying crime, or someone leaving the scene of an accident.

Easy way to not contribute to "speed camera Cash cow"

Is don't speed .....

Under no circumstances should you ever ever start a tyre thread!!!!!!

Can I start a gassing thread instead ?

I thought that too, hardly a safety issue, but if a advisory were to be issued then no one would do anything about it. Just to be more pedantic it's 1.5mm for pads and 1.6 for tyres? Measured my old ones and 1.8mm at worst point so well in tolerance .

Tester was pleased to see I had proper van 'C' tyres on it with a high load rating

On the car I had advisories for 2 years about ‘cracking’ tyres, and they’ve not been mentioned the past 2 years - same MOT station and same tyres.
