Leading on from a question asked in a previous thread..............
I'm currently on a 3 week training course and
VOSA DVSA as they're now known were in today telling us what they are about etc.......
So when he'd finished I asked the question a few of you guys had been asking re. 'If I get an MOT done early and it fails, will it deem the current one null & void?'
His answer was and I quote - 'If the vehicle was taken for an MOT EARLIER than in its 12th month and fails, then the result of THAT MOT WILL NULLIFY its current one, i.e. if it was taken say at month 6. If its in its 12th month of the MOT i.e. within 30 days of expiring then it will not nullify the current one.'

However, again, this does not say that if the car has an accident in this time (due to a fault pointed out on the MOT failure sheet) you would not be innocent and not liable for any fines / court.
His talk was actually very interesting especially around HGV's and the powers they have to remove them from the road (Better than ours!!!). He also told a few funny stories about MOT testing stations & the mystery shoppers that they do with a duff car
