It has always been a grey area TBH... As a tester we were told that the most recent test takes precedence i.e. If it's presented and failed then that superseded the valid cert.

But, if you have a valid cert, it's still MOT'd

I'm always cautious about it and would be giving it a thorough check before submitting it

[Kevin Wood]

Clearly you can't be done for not having an MOT, since, unless the previous certificate has been rescinded, the car has an MOT.

You might be breaking C&U regs, but, then again, you might not. You could replace an illegal tyre with the spare and drive away. No problem. Emissions failure at MOT? Frankly, you won't be stopped at the roadside and done for that either. You fail on a headlamp bulb?  Well, if you're not driving it at night, again, not likely to be an issue.

As said, unless the MOT tester notes the car as dangerous to drive, I reckon there would be no issue with driving it.

I have a suspicion that Guffer might also want an exhaust fitting.

Yes.. While you're there, Albs, do those tea leaves say anything bad about my car?

As a medic I think he has a bad case of moronwhoclickedthewrongthreadalitis

Your diagnosis is spot on Dr.Guffer.It was late, I was tired and thought I had cllicked on the Newent jobs thread.
Still, it gave you lot a laugh.

Yes - they say it is a very dangerous contraption and will bring very bad luck to anyone who drives it. you must give it to Albs to dismantle and scatter the parts far and wide to ensure no-one ever drives it again.

Interesting Mike, but it begs the question, if your car fails on say the idler arm, what would be the time scale for a repair because according to the letter of the law you are knowingly driving an unroadworthy vehicle. Ambiguous or what

Yeah I know 

You could always carry a box of freshly made doughnuts around in the car, in case you pulled and offer one nicely to the officer then  .

But then, what do I know, I'm still leading a sheltered life remember
