Is a faulty fuel injector an MOT failure?
Yes, if there's visible leak on a fuel injector can lead to an MOT failure. Any leaks in the fuel system will normally lead to an MOT failure, and hence it is possible the same can happen for an injector. However, injectors are usually hidden beneath engine covers which are not removed during an MOT so the chances of an MOT tester being able establish a visible leak with the injectors is small. That said, an issue with an injector will have an impact on engine performance and will likely result in excess emissions, which can also lead to an MOT failure. If you have a faulty injector it is imperative to get it checked and fixed as soon as possible by a professional mechanic. A fuel leak is a fire hazard and can be dangerous.
