Legal tyre?

Many things which will pass MOT will still get you done under construction and use regs!
Motorbikes for example didn't need a numberplate. Just the number painted somewhere on the bike for the MOT!
perished rubbers will get you nicked or get her pregnant.

Think you might have something wrong here mate because what you say makes the MOT pointless

He has a point.
The MOT should not be taken as a guarantee of roadworthyness, only the vehicles ability to pass an MOT.
There's plenty of modded vehicles out there that can pass an MOT but aren't technically road legal. MOT only tests what the MOT is looking for. :wink:
What the MOT looks for is pretty valid in a lot of cases, so I'm not dismissing it's creditiablity at all. Just it's unilateral acceptance. :wink:

MOT covers most of the bits you can see not the bits you can't.
It doesn't allow the examiner to hammer hell out of things just tap gently and prod with the wee plastic alloy handled hammer.
Iv'e had all sorts come to me for MOT over the years bits of chassis held together with pieces of 2x2 timber painted with underseal you name it Iv'e seen it.
Metal plates stuck on with cataloy and dressed with pudding to look like weld!!!!!!!!!!!. :shock:
Mudlark:
I believe the wording is "A MOT only guarantees the roadworthyness of a vehicle at the time of testing"
If your tester is honest he will fail everything such as painted wood and stuck on patches so if he issues a certificate then that vehicle is deemed legal.
I presume that if a police constable suspects a vehicle is not legal he still has to issue a ticket to assert that the vehicle will be checked by a MOT station to prove it's roadworthyness
