Mine is in for its MOT in the next week too. The down-side of buying a car at Christmas..... Will have to put 2 new front tyres on too as the are down to 2mm, and already, roundabouts are interesting when it is a little damp.
 4mm on ther rears, so they can wait.

Replace all 4 if funds allow and sell the good old ones from the rear. Or another option is to get a second hand pair for the front that matches rear tyres. You don't want rear tyres considerably worse then fronts specially in winter months.
