Failed MOT
in [UK Drivers]

From: Corporal Jones on 23 Dec 2008 12:44 Had my car in for it's yearly service & MOT today, it failed. As the current MOT does not run out till the 4th of Jan what is the legal position of driving it till then? Can't get the car in to do the repairs until next Monday but may want to drive over Xmas. Going to cost �400 plus two new tyres (not illegal but worn enough for me so that's another �200) still can't complain, 9 years old, 122k miles and it has not cost anything so far, even still got the original exhaust. -- Corporal Jones "I don't like it up me"

As long as the Tester hasn't issued a notice prohibiting the vehicle from the road you can still drive it.

You have a current MOT, but if the car is unroadworthy, it's illegal. What did it fail on?
