'If your car has no MOT pass certificate, it should not be parked on the public highway and you should look to book it in for its MOT immediately. Whilst it's parked on the public highway without an MOT it could be reported, resulting in you being fined and your car seized.

If you are not planning on driving the car for a period of time, you should make a SORN declaration and keep the car on a driveway or private land, as long as it's not on the public highway.

Remember that, whilst your car has no MOT, it is illegal to drive it on the road unless you're taking it directly to an MOT testing station for its MOT.

When you're ready to use your car again, make sure you book an MOT at your local Stoneacre test centre then ensure that it's fully taxed and insured before you drive it on the road again.'

Just to add, it is usually a condition of your insurance that you have a valid MOT

Should it have an MOT? Not enough info in your question.

If it should have an MOT and is parked on the public highway the owner could be fined and the car seized.

If it gets hit whilst parked up the owner can claim from his insurance company but should check the terms and conditions of the policy first.

[THECORBYLOON]

Just report it and let the authorities deal with it.

[roadman]

they say i need to inform the police and i cant be bothered with their incompetence

[barry1010]

Report it to the police online and also to the council.
What do you hope to achieve by sticking a note on the windscreen?

If it is insured then the value the insurance pay out will be significantly reduced. Essentially you'll still be insured but they'll use the no MOT and anything else they can find as a stick to beat you with.

It's not his car, TTT

I get that I was just answering the question about what happens if someone hits it.

Round here they go around clamping cars that are not taxed/MOTd etc.
