You can drive to or from a pre-booked MOT test, with or without a valid MOT (otherwise how could you get something without an MOT tested?)

defuzz:
yup, you can drive TO a booked MOT but if it fails, its not suppossed to be driven away from the MOT

Nick4X4:
when i went for an mot a couple of years back, it failed and i got stopped on the way home, i told them that i was on my way home from the mot but they still took me to court :(
But when the day came for the court i went to the place that did the mot first and they said that the police had been in and checked that it had been in the day i was stopped :?
So i went in to court and said that i was on my way home from an mot and the police had check this out!!!
The out come was i could clam back the the day wasted going to court over this.
so as long as you are booked in for mot and insured you can go to and from an mot ;)

The only exception to this is if the MOT tester deems the vehicle to be too dangerous to be driven home. You can still remove your property from the premises but, technically, the MOT tester should inform the Police that he is aware of a dangerous vehicle being driven on the road.

A little hole in a sill is not going to be a problem, but 3 out of 4 brakes not working should never be allowed off the premises as an example!

The problem is when the MOT tester is aware of a crime being committed but doesn't report it. I think this is an offence in it's own right. LSP, Boggert????
