dutchkev Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) a fail is a fail - you put it on for a test and it failed - its that simple! Edited March 6, 2010 by dutchkev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratspeed Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 If you present your car for a test before the old one runs out and it fails, it still tested until it does. thats what VOSA tell me. I'm an MOT man By the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still dubious since you've only come up with a Yahoo Answers solution, but I don't have definitive proof mysef. What I am finding so far points to you being right, though.

Ratspeed Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yeah i know what you mean, i'm not usually a yahoo answers guy but there is one answer by a guy from VOSA there too.The reason im sure of it is because we had a querie about this at work, which is when i found the answer.

16V_Silver Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 VOSA's response: "An MOT certificate is valid until its expiry date. However if your vehicle fails a test before this date and you do not rectify the defects then you are driving an unroadworthy vehicle which is an offence." So to put this into context if your car fails the MOT due to illegal tyres then you are driving an unroadworthy vehicle, you were driving unroadworthy vehicle before the MOT, and you will be driving an unroadworthy vehicle until you get a new tyre. Therefore at anytime if caught you would be subject to a £2500 fine and 3 points per illegal tyre. So, just to be on the safe side, I will take the vehicle off-road until all the repairs are done and been re-tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
