Driving a vehicle that’s failed

your current MOT certificate is still valid
no ‘dangerous’ problems were listed in the MOT
Otherwise, you’ll need to get it repaired before you can drive.

If you can take your vehicle away, it must still meet the minimum standards of roadworthiness at all times.

Retest after a repair

In some cases, your vehicle can have a partial retest for free or a reduced MOT fee.

Leaving your vehicle for repair

Taking your vehicle away for repairs

You can take your vehicle away if your MOT certificate is still valid.

If your MOT has run out you can take your vehicle to:
