Drop into Halfrauds on your way to the test with your trade card and get a pair of trade plates Ned .That way you will be covered :P


The MOT station I use is in spitting distance of my house :wink: I'll push the bugger home if I have to :lol: :lol: I always thought you could drive to and from a booked mot appointment (home/work to test station and back to home/work (work if that's where the vehicle lives)) and nowhere in between.

Other halfs' car just been through one of these new ones with road test - pain as it failed on an abs light which had been on for years. Annoying as its' a pain in the backside to get it on computer as it was one of those dealer only systems. Even pro systems seem not to cover it, so in talks with some suppliers at the moment! Pain in the rear!

How can that be if the new rules don`t come in until the 20th may?

New MOT rules which commence 20th May, -
If for example your car,van or bike mot is valid till 10th June 2018 and you took it for an mot before 20th may but within 30 days before expiry date as you are entitled to do to preserve "anniversary" date, - which set of rules would it be tested to - the present rules or new rules?

ABS light on indicating a fault with ABS is a MOT failure & was added to MOT a few years ago :!:

Under Current rules you can drive away from MOT station with your old MOT still valid.
Once it's FAILED is does not mean you can continue to use vehicle a normal as if it never failed & it's still got a few weeks old MOT left.

A vehicle that had FAILED MOT will be recorded as FAILED, There for it will be red flagged on ANPR has having NO MOT.
You can get stopped & simply wave OLD MOT in front of the copper. Who will be quick to say...

"Vehicle still needs to meet the minimum standards of road worthiness to be able to legally drive it on the road"
"You are knowingly driving an UNROADWORHTY / DANGEROUS vehicle on the road" & then they will prohibit vehicle from being use on the road.

You will end up with a fine & penalty points on licence :(


With new rules. They have made it clear.
Once vehicle has FAILED MOT, any previous MOT left will be VOID. This means vehicle will have NO VALID MOT :!:

It can also prevent a vehicle that has been MOTed early & failed. Being sold off as "MOTed" with old MOT left to run.
Buyer would not be able to tax the vehicle due to being recorded as FAILED 8)

If it was an intermittent problem with the ABS (had a few, where the light doesn't come on until you reach 25-30mph), the light maybe wasn't on at the time of test as the vehicle is only driven from parking spot to the MOT ramp, and because it's been left and not looked at to find the fault before (maybe deteriorated wiring) The fault has gone from intermittent, to breaking down fully, thus keeping on the ABS light.
