Is it really impossible to fail a PhD because you failed your ...
Perhaps it depends on the UK university, but I did a postdoc in the UK and the PhD students in our department did annual reports/meetings with a committee other than their supervisor to ensure they were on track.

PhDs: is doctoral education in trouble in the UK?
With a near-record 113,000 postgraduate research students based in the UK, including 46,350 foreign PhD candidates, Britain's doctoral education landscape would seem to be thriving. Buoyed by an extra £109 million from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to support PhD and mid-career researchers in 2023-24, and Horizon Europe membership secured, there might appear little cause for concern.

If you fail it there is the option to resubmit your thesis after making heavy revisions or to exit with a lower award (an MPhil).

Supervisor with failed PhD students
A. mike23mike. It's a major red flag if you are thinking of getting supervised by someone who has previously supervised PhD students who subsequently failed.
