tis the eve of the day i goes to dig out last years test after speaning all evning on the car, my grans taking it in aswell as im at work.........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

its not fookin due till March 15th

[Copey]

oh well, at least ur prepared for it now

[Mr Sam]

well she failed

one of the rear brake pipes

 

a seat belt mount

 

and a front suspension mount

And you still have 3 weeks left on the old MOT to continue using the car and get it fixed in time

[Mr Sam]

When Mr Sam said it failed, did he mean it's been in for a test? If so, it's am MOT failure, end of. Any MOT, even if the previous one hasn't expired, is the current one. Thel latest one, pass or fail, is the one that's the legal one, even if it's only been a week since the one before. You can only have one MOT, and can go and have the test every month if you want to. The newest one is the legal one. It would be OK if you only have a pre test though, as long as the tester doesn't log on.

First time i've heard of that and i spent a year of my youth working in an mot garage.

[mossy]

Tis true....If you take your car for an mot early and it fails....Thats it no mot. untill it passes the next test.

doesn't sound too bad sam, nothing too costly

 

good luck getting it sorted

No offence mate but if it was during the time there was only paper certs, you could get away with failing a test and still have a cert that proved the car had a test. I had been known in the past to visit one or two test stations if I had a fail till it passed. Now it's all on computer you can't.

It'll be on the system as a failure regardless of whether there's a month or whatever to run.
