Am just trying to educate myself a bit here.
There is a car I sold some months back and it recently developed a fault that shows Steering Failure on the Multi Information Display and will illuminate a light on the dash to show a failure with the Electric Power Steering.
I had it connected to an OBD scanner and the thing that is causing it to fail is this thing called Torque Position Sensor. Usually comes on when you turn the wheel after driving it for a bit.
Took a drive in it, seems the only thing that happens when the light goes on is the steering either becomes a lot lighter to turn, sometimes nothing happens and every now and then there is no power steering at all but you can steer the car as per usual just requiring more of a physical effort to turn.
Wondering if this could be grounds for MOT failure?
Car in question is a Fiat Panda.
