HAD THIS ASKED US this week, i had always thought that the current mot is valid until expiry, regardless of subsequent failures. As you lot cant agree
called the MOT enquiry line. the difinative answer is
this. You can drive the car on the valid mot till expiry, however you could be caught out by the RT ACT on the grounds of driving a car that you know is defective ie has failed a recent MOT.
BUT the original mot cert is still valid.so advise customers accordingly.
