MOT advice
My MOT runs out on the 30th December. If I take it in early and it fails does the MOT stay in place until 30th December or does the failure cancel everything?
You’ll get a ‘notification of failure’ from the test centre if your vehicle fails the test. The failure will be recorded in the secure central MOT database.
You can still drive your vehicle if it fails the test and its existing MOT certificate is still valid (ie you got it tested before the expiry date). However, you might be stopped by police and prosecuted if your vehicle is unroadworthy.
If the vehicle fails the test and the certificate has expired, you can only drive it to:
have the failed defects repaired
a pre-arranged MOT test appointment
