What Happens When You Fail an MOT Test

by Premier Tyres Plus Tyre Retailer in Willenhall

MOT Tests have become an important part of vehicle safety in the UK. Every vehicle which is at least three years old need to pass the MOT Test to check if it is ROADWORTHY!

It can be a probability that you fail the MOT Test due to one or the other reason. The most common reasons for failure are faulty light bulbs, door handles, number plates, steering, the car's horn, and bonnet. Sometimes, the car’s doors and window glasses are also damaged which lead to such a situation.

MOT TEST FAILURE!

MOT Tests don’t cost all your savings. The maximum fee for a car is £54.85 and £29.65 for a standard motorcycle. The nightmare of every driver in the UK is to fail in clearing the MOT Test. Should the vehicle fail, you will be issued with a VT3O Certificate stating the items causing the failure of the MOT test.

There is no set time limit before a retest and it is at the discretion of the individual. Remember - a car that does not have a current MOT Certificate is not allowed to be used on the road except when going for repairs for an MOT test, or to a pre-arranged MOT test.

How to Get a Free MOT Re-Test?
