Another MOT Question !!!
Lincs niva:
Fair point Big Watty
However my test station has told me the existing test will still be valid up until it expires...
Best way is a pre test by the sounds of it...
Cheers Gav
Guardian.:
as said, just have a pre test check, no paperwork then, as i could see in the event off an accident or something, it looks like an ace get out clause for insurance.
waveydavey:
Very good question; with the old system there was no problem.
Yes you will still have a Valid MOT, you can tax the vehicle etc. BUT:
It is illegal to drive a vehicle with a fault on it, even if it passed yesterday. If it failed a test today and you got stopped tomorrow the database will demonstrate you clearly know about the fault so you have lost the best defence you might have had.

i was told once it faild the MOT it can not be used on the road, also had this happen to a friend few weeks back and gargae told him same thing, even tho he had a couple week left of his mot and it failed it wasnt road legal and he could be pulled on it
ben_haynes:
yes you can drive a vehicle until it runs out and you can retest it anytime but if it passes it then has a new "birthday" as we call it, and if it fails and you cant get it fixed i.e. waiting for parts, you can drive it on the road aslong as the Failure is not a "Deemed Dangerous" or "This Vehicle Is not Fit for the Road" Failure
