   first picture, the tyre tread is below 1.6 mm in some areas only in the first 1/4of the trye, will this fail mot? and the last two pictures, the tryes are of a different pattern (one was fitted by a tyre fitting garage) will this fail? and last question, I have no back seats in my car, or seat belts, will this fail mot?
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Cheers, Luke

   It wont fail for different patters, but will fail for being below the legal limit. No seat belts at all? or just have you still got them in the front?

   The limit is below 1.6mm the centre 3/4 of the tyre so if there is anywhere on the tyre that alls within these restrictions it will fail

   looks like you have a little camber in those wheels mate! might be worth getting your axel checked!

   A tyre on or above 1.6will pass an mot, anything outside of the 3/4central width can be bald as long as there is no structual damage to the tyre.
   
   How have you judged the central width?
   
   If you have back seats and no belts, fail
   If you have no back seats but have the be,t, fail
   
   Either both or none atall...
   
   Just change the fucking tyre though tbh.

   You will fail on the tyre been below legal limit.
   
   Looking at those pics you may also fail/get an advisory on play in the rear beam.
