This will not be news to the mechanics and mot testers in our fold but ive just read an interesting article in car mechanics this month that may be of interest to you all.
The Government has updated its guidelines about vehicles failing the MOT. If the vehicle fails its MOT you will now be given refusal mot test certificate and it will be recorded on the VOSA database. You must not drive the vehicle on the road if it fails the test even if the current MOT has not run out. Except to have the failed defects fixed or to drive to a pre arranged MOT test.
And as a little incentive the fine for no MOT is up to £ 2500 possible ban and 3 points to make your day.
So if you think "its ok its failed ive got a couple of weeks to fix it I will carry on putting the miles on"
BEWARE
