I just realised my MOT ran out last month. What do I do?
Answers:
Make an appointment with your garage for the vehicles MOT. You are covered (MOT wise if you get stopped) then for that journey. The garage will do the MOT no problem for you. Just don't be tempted to drive it between now and then. You know what life's like.
The garage will re- MOT the car-- no problem
book your car in b4 you go and you will be ok you can drive to the garage with no mot
You are allowed to drive your car to a garage for an MOT test. If it fails, you are allowed to take it to another garage for repairs and back to a garage for a retest. A garage will quite happily MOT test a car that is out of date and will not turn you in!
Book the new MOT soon, if the car is damaged prior to the new test, your insurer will still pay up but will value the vehicle much lower, sometimes 25 to 50% lower!
Ive done this before, just get one booked in asap! It would be even more illegal if you ran out of car insurance!! You need it MOT'd and insured to get your car tax so that could have been a problem!! Hope your car passes x
you can drive to a pre-booked mot but nowhere else
You will have too make an appointment with your garage too have it mot'd.And as long as u have an appointment you will be legal too drive it there and back.Dont worry about it being past its due date.
the garage will mot it but it IS technically illegal to drive. so you either have to get a tow truck or hope you dont get caught.
you could legally do this by getting a tow. do you have tax!
Have done this myself. Just book in to your local garage. The dealer garages might raise eyebrows though, but even they will probably just overlook it. It'll be fine.
go and catch it before its too late then!
get a new one
DONT PANIC !
JUST GO AND GET IT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IF YOU GET STOPPED, THEY WONT BELIEVE YOU DIDNT KNOW AND YOU WILL GET POINTS ON YOUR LICENCE. THE GARAGE YOU GO TO WILL MOT IT FOR YOU, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, SO DONT WORRY
If you want accurate info then look up the DVLA website. They will tell you. But basically there are ONLY 2 exemptions to driving without a valid MOT certificate. 1 - Driving to a pre-booked appointment, and 2 - driving to a place of repair following a failed test. Incidentally the place of repair doesn't have to be a garage, you can drive it home and repair it your self.
But do bear in mind if you drive at any other time your insurance will not be valid. Insurance companies require that the vehicle is legally allowed on the road to provide cover.
just get one done before your tax runs out. its what i do
oooooooooppppppppppppppsssssss.
