What it really costs
A fleet of 20 vans at a 36% failure rate can expect about 7 failed MOTs a year, each one a van off the road, a retest and a lost working day. Nearly half of those failures are lamps and electrics: the kind of fault a two-minute daily check finds. (Worked example for illustration.)
