MOT run out 9 days ago
Discussion
My son has a VW golf 14 plate, he purchased the car I'm March, the last car he had the garage would text him prior to the mot.
But today the garage he purchased the car from informed him that the " mot is past and due"
Car is fine etc, he knows it was his responsibility can he wait till Saturday what is the law, if a car is roadworthy but something like this happens.
Back in the 80s I was stopped the mot was out of date, then police looked at the car and all was in order I was told " get it done"which I did.
His car, tyres, breaks and all that goes with a MOT is correct,he does not want to miss work but has read there is a £2500 fine and the insurance would be invalid, he did forget and not intentional.
Thanks in advance

There are also literally loads of apps which will do it for you too. Why rely on a third-party to text you when you could sort it yourself easily?
I'm sure the young lad will have learnt his lesson.As others have said he can't drive the car except to a pre-book mot appointment. Driving it risks invalidating insurance, 6 points, and a fine for not having the MOT.
I would get a bus or taxi to work.

Or a non endorsable £100 fine...As others have said he can't drive the car except to a pre-book mot appointment. Driving it risks invalidating insurance, 6 points, and a fine for not having the MOT.

It should be grounds for revoking posting privileges on this forum.
ks. The non endorsable £100 fine shows it's the lowest if the low motoring offence.
No excuse but I had three cars and forgot about one until the tax came due and I couldn't get it due to my mot expiring, this was October mot had expired in April! Got the mot done taxed it all good.
Just get it done asap, I would comfortably drive it expired if I had a test booked in the next few days.
