Re Test


If your vehicle fails the MOT test there are a list of things that can be retested free.

You should also be aware that if your vehicle is submitted for an MOT Test whilst still having a valid MOT certificate, and it fails the inspection, the original certificate is still legally valid until it expiry date. But if your vehicle has faults which make it un-roadworthy in law. You should not use it on the road irrespective of whether or not it has a current valid MOT certificate.
