Can I drive my car if it has failed the MOT?

If your car fails the MOT test, it is important to understand the rules around driving it. You can drive your vehicle away from the MOT center if the failure does not affect road safety or legal requirements, such as issues with lights, brakes, or emissions. However, if the vehicle is deemed unsafe or has serious issues, you should not drive it until the problems are resolved.

If your car fails the MOT, we'll provide a detailed report of the failure and assist with repairs or re-tests to ensure your vehicle meets safety standards. Depending on the severity of the failure, your car may need to be repaired immediately or can be driven to a repair facility.

Driving a car that has failed the MOT with significant issues, such as faulty brakes or tires, can be dangerous. It's always best to prioritize safety and have any necessary repairs completed before using your vehicle on the road.
