i thought mine would fail the mot but they dont . the only reason you can fail wheels for that is if its a sharp edge caused by corrosion or a sharp edge caused by damage .. there is nothing in the mot book about wheels that stick out from the arches ... but im sure the plod would have a different say on it

theres so many things that the plod can do you for that aren't actually testable items aren't there, also a car doesnt have to be in great nik to pass an mot its really basic
