Hi folks

Girlfriend and I are currently looking at getting a new car to replace the rather battered old one we have at the moment. Now the battered old cars MOT is up on the 10th of March and we have it booked in for the 6th of March at the moment to get tested. We know it will fail, believe me, it will, but we are just wondering where we will stand if it does? Do we need to get the stuff fixed there and then and retested, or will we still be allowed to legally drive it up until the 10th?

Only reason that I ask is that we are pretty close to getting a new car and think that maybe the stuff wrong with the existing car would cost more to fix than it is worth.

Apologies if this sounds confusing but any help would be appreciated :cool:
 
Thanks guys, thought it would probably be something along the lines of what you have said. So if the MOT comes back with something they cant fix, say a rotten Oil sump, which I know it has, I would be able to drive the car to a garage to fix it, or home and then to a garage when I have it booked in, but no where else legally?

Thanks
 
See now the lunchtime crew has got me all confused lol :p I know its only a couple of days difference between the 6th and 10th of March but it may be the difference between having to get a car through its MOT, ££££, or not.

Any other takers on this one?
 
Thanks for all the replies folks, lets just hope there isnt anything too major at its MOT :( and the sooner I get a new car the better. Please now await the 'What should I look out for when buying a Mk 4 VW Golf thread' :p
