MOTs

[WorTortle]

I was looking at a new motor, when I've checked the MOT history it shows its failed an MOT on 3rd September with 1 dangerous and 9 major defects but shows it still has a valid MOT until November.

Does the failed MOT not supercede the previous one?

Can a car be sold with dangerous and major defects?

Yeah it's not even worth a look, was just wondering how it would be legal to sell it
