Bluegrass Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Is there an allowance to get your MOT booked in and completed after the date of expiry, i.e. a 7 day allowance to get it sorted? I ask because my dad is self employed and is really busy for the next few days, yet MOT expired today. Can he use the vehicle for a few days and get the MOT completed, say, next week sometime? Or does he run the risk of driving illegally because MOT expired today?Government website doesn't answer my question. You are all the next best thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Im sure you arent allowed to drive without an up to date one. Police can crush your vehicle or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Yeah i'm sure you get 7 days to sort it out. but you need to book an appointment whoever your taking the car to so when coppers stop you they can check with the garage if you're going to sort it out.

trials_pimp Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 No There isnt an Allowance. If the MOT Has Expired then the vehicle isnt road Legal.Its your responsibilty to get it sorted before the MOT Is Due.Thats why you can have your car MOT'd up to 1 month before the Expiry date, and you wont loose the month, its added on the end.

Village Idiot Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 No allowance as far as I know. After the MOT's expired you're only able to drive to a pre-booked MOT appointment (and I think to a place of repair if it fails). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
