My MOT runs out at the end of this month but I took the car in early and it failed. Does this mean I cant drive it on the road as the failed test is the most current? Thanks
you still have a valid mot so you cannot be prosecuted for not having one.
however, you still can be prosecuted for driving knowingly an unroadworthy vehicle.
well although it is illegal. its one of those laws that you will probably never get done for. As you are legal to drive you car at its current status Too and from a testing station (to which its hard to prove that you are not dropping your car off at a station).
however if you happen to be involved in an accident - you can be procecuted... Strange as it is, not for the above offence( as long as you say you are dropping car off etc) but for no insurance
It is still possible to arrive at some MOT testing stations unannounced and have an MOT while-u-wait, a service which they advertise, but that is beside the point.
It is also not relevant that you can legally drive a vehicle with no MOT to, or from, a pre-arranged MOT test since the previously issued certificate is still valid.
You fulfil the legal requirement in possessing a valid MOT certificate however it is still an offence to drive a vehicle which is not roadworthy on the public highway.
