Your car is unroadworthy, it failed MOT, the chance of Mr Policeman knowing that would be slim, so you still have MOT, can still tax the car ect, but I tell people, once the faults are fixed, the car is safe to drive. Same situ as being stopped by enforcement. But at the same time, I wish a had £1 for every time I see a new ball joint fitted and its still loose in the hub, because the hub is worn.Just learnt this morning that if my car fails its MOT (even just for a light alignment or something small) I can't continue driving it even if there is still a full 4 weeks left before its dew date. The failure automatically scrubs off any remaining time you have so you are meant to put the car in the garage until the retest. Looks like I've broken the law on 2 occasions in that case! Is this common knowledge??
