my front near side catches the back of the arch every so often. I use a friendly MOT place and he said it was a warning.

i think that they spin the wheels and stuff like that if the wheel touches the bodywork whilst it is having the MOT done then they will fail. but marks on the tyre could be from anything (kerbs)

Yeah mine wouldn't touch if thats the case. They only touch the arches if someones in the back or I hit a big bump in the road
