I have long thought tyres age should be part of the MOT. I have come across a vehicle with 40 year old tyres which had passed the MOT. It cannot be right to pass such lethal faults when other silly, less dangerous things would result in a fail. I know of a 22 year old tyre which blew out on the M42, fortunately it was fitted to the trailer. As advised by tyre manufacturers 10 years seems a sensible limit for the MOT.
