TyreSafe draw attention to TPMS
During the last Tyre Safety Month, TyreSafe reminded drivers to check their TPMS is working and be aware that it does not warn drivers of the condition of their tyres nor the amount of tread depth.
Vehicles first used after 1 January 2012 and equipped with a TPMS fitted by the vehicle manufacturer must have a functioning system to pass the MoT test. While typically reliable, drivers do need to check their car’s TPMS to ensure it’s working on a regular basis as the system can fail and batteries in the wheel-mounted sensors can run out.
