I need to read properly, I didn't know it was t&t'd.  Before the most recent test and subsequent failure it had 11 months MOT (Corbs bought the car with a 'so called' fresh MOT), but the recent failure superceeds any remaining MOT, so basically without carrying out all the work required, the car no longer has an MOT. Is that right? Hmm, I was told the opposite by another member on here, that the 2nd MOT does not cancel out the first. Thinking about it now, it makes much more sense that it should, as the car is no longer roadworthy. |

I was told that it does invalidate the MOT, but having looked further into it I found this (direct from VOSA)
"An MOT certificate is valid until its expiry date. However if your vehicle fails a test before this date and you do not rectify the defects then you are driving an unroadworthy vehicle which is an offence"
Basically, the 11 month remaining MOT still stands, but, only if the faults found on the more recent MOT are rectified. In this case it would mean that all the welding (and other jobs) would need rectifying before the remaining 'valid' 11 month MOT is actually valid again. I guess that means we're both wrong and both right at the same time.
If you were to drive the car assuming it's fine for another 11 months without doing the work, you'd be screwed if you got pulled and they saw the rot because it's now down on the system as a fail.

I actually owe the OP a big apology and one is going to him via PM next.
I said I would buy this, however several rather unfortunate problems have occurred in my life just before going to collect it.
Cut a long story short I won't be buying anything new for a while till life becomes a bit more stable.
So sorry to be one of the timewasting prats I hate so much!
