Mot in the morning for the Jeep fingers crossed.

[macabethiel]

I have booked in the Jeep for it's Mot this Saturday.
I hope it passes OK but you never know what a tester can find.
Have checked all the lights, handbrake mechanism has been adjusted last week.
Visually all good tyres etc.

If it does fail not a big issue as it still has 3 weeks before it expires so hopefully plenty of time to fix it.

Be carefull, I believe that once it fails it has no valid MOT from the fail date, I could be wrong but sure I saw it on here a while ago, Rick

Think Rick is right on that, so be careful

All the best with it mate

It sailed through it's MoT with no advisories !
Relief.
Tester commented on how good it was underneath for a 54 plate motor.

Excellent news and I believe Rick is correct.

Great news, it's always a worry isn't it.

If your vehicle has failed its MOT when the certificate is still live:

You may take your vehicle for its MOT test up to a month before your current certificate ends; the exact date will be on your MOT certificate. This had led to people questioning whether they can drive it after it has failed as they still have a valid certificate.

The answer is that you can still drive your vehicle if it fails the test and its existing MOT certificate is still valid (i.e. if your test was before the expiry date). However the fact that your vehicle has failed its MOT means there are faults with the vehicle and if you do get stopped by the police you could be prosecuted if your vehicle is not roadworthy.

Though you still have a valid certificate you could be breaking the law by using a vehicle with a known fault on the road, it is highly recommended to get the repairs fixed as soon as possible and not to drive the vehicle in the meantime.

This makes sense as you could have an Mot fail as the wipers have split or a bulb has gone. Testing station do not have the parts so you fix fault therefore you are legal. Might be a bit tricky if the Chassis has corroded badly to continue to drive or a serious brake fault. TBH one of the reasons behind test advisories is so its not a surprise the following year if the sills have rotted out. The test should pick this up as an advisory a year or two before. I believe that advisories might include items not part of the test but important enough to mention at the time.

The only circumstances I know of where the Mot becomes worthless is if the vehicle is issued with a Prohibition Notice by the Police or D0T - not sure but this may be restricted to goods vehicles only.
