Noticed one of my tyres has a chunk taken out of the sidewall and wondered if this was going to be an issue at MOT?

It'sabout 1cm square and 2-3mm deep.

I have a chunk of similarish size (may be slightly shallower) missing from one of the tyres on my RRS too. Got it serviced and MOT'd about a month ago at a main dealer with very good reputation. It was noted on the advisory sheet but the car passed the MOT. It's so small and at a fairly safe position on the tyre wall that I am not bothered and will change the tyres based on the tread depth only when the time comes.

Hi,

I think most of the garages will do their best to find some problems on your car to make more money. !!! RRS TDV8 !!!

I'm no expert at all, but I don't think that looks too bad to be honest (The trye, not the alloys, they look shocking )
Could be worth calling into a decent tyre garage when your passing, just to get their opinion, or hopefully AJS4x4 will comment  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I have. smaller nick in a tyre which I bought as delivery mileage ones, and my tyre dealer pointed it out as it will be a weak point, passed its mot without issues

So far so good then.

I dont want to be stitched up for a new tyre at dealers prices cos my MOT runs out the day after it is booked in.  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

I've got two bigger chunks than that out of one of mine, and as long as you can't see the cord underneath then it's fine and should pass an MOT with just an advisory. This was advised by both AA and independent garage.

One of my chunks was actually "ironed" by LR, which then subsequently fell out a few days after buying it!
