MOT

[hard top]

Any truth in this @t-tony?
You said you were reading up on 'new stuff' the other day.

Motorists could be caught out by tougher MOT rules that leave them open to a £2,500 fine if their vehicle fails a test carried out before current certificate expires.

Once again another headline about stuff that technically already exists.
Can't comment on the fine thing as I don't know .

But as it stands if you take it to the letter of the law .

If you bring your car in for an mot with say 2 weeks left and it fails
Then technically the car does NOT meet the minimum road safety standard and therefore should Not be continued to be driven on the previous remaining mot.
If the police stopped you they can check the mot status including whether it has been tested and failed before current expiry and will prosecute for driving a vehicle not meeting the minimum mot standard.

We do a lot of fleet mot as well as retail if a fleet car fails car does not leave until repaired as fleet insurance will not cover it if driver removes vehicle.
