I am pleased to say that is not the case, providing you have your vehicle tested within one month of your current MOT expiring, as any time left on it (for up to the month) is added to the new MOT. Therefore this new MOT will cover you for the next 12 months, plus any 'unused' time left on the old MOT.

Also all of us should remember that a MOT only covers you for the condition of the vehicle found to be the case on the actual day of the test.  Any subsequent failure / wear of a part that takes place, even the day after the MOT, and causes the vehicle to be deemed  "unroadworthy", results in the use of the said vehicle to be in contrevention of the Road Traffic Act and you are then liable to prosecution.  Thus no matter how long the MOT or not, it is the actual roadworthiness of the vehicle that overrides it at any time.

Absolutely correct  

BTW I believe there is another exemption to driving following an MOT failure not so far metioned. Taking the vehicle to a breakers yard for the purpose of scrapping

I dont think that the breakers trip is correct...as you dont pre book it therefore cant prove thats what your doing if you get stopped on the way...
