The CV joint will wear down and finally fail if the vehicle is driven with a damaged CV joint boot. A clicking or popping sounds when rotating is the most prevalent indication of a damaged outer CV joint. When you accelerate in a turn, the noise grows louder.
It is unusual for the inner CV joint to fail. One of the signs of a deteriorating inner CV joint is lateral (side-to-side) shaking or vibration during acceleration. A worn-out inner CV joint may clunk when moving from Drive to Reverse or from acceleration to deceleration.
It is recommended to check MOT status of your vehicle and repair any CV joint problems beforehand to avoid a MOT failure.
If you check MOT history online for your car, one of the most prevalent reasons of MOT failures is a minor tear in the CV boots, which can cause grease contamination of the brake pads and discs due to their proximity to the brakes. Because they have to withstand greater movement than the inner CV boots, the outer CV joint boots are more likely to break.
