    ??? But you must admit? the failure of an mot 11 months after a pass must overide the pass?:confused:

    No, I think you are wrong. As I said previously, I’m not aware of any way of revoking or shortening the life of an MOT once issued. They are valid for a year no matter what.

    Obviousley if it passes but as i say, you take it a month early to avoid having no vehicle until you can afford to put it back on the road


    Of course but folks need to know a fail overides a pass, agreed?
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    How can a fail overide a pass?

    It doesn't. If it did, it would mean everyone taking their test early and failing would have to get the bus home from the garage!

    As stated a pass is valid on the day only, yes?

    Any fail WILL be logged on the system wither you or me accept it?

    Where that leave us in court?

    Quick posts have overtaken me, what I mean is there will be a record with the DVLA that your car is not fit for the road ? ?

    It appears not. This was discussed in this thread: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1758017

    and while others thought the same, a guy on that thread emailed VOSA and got the response:
    Once an MOT has been issued it cannot be revoked even if the vehicle has been presented for another MOT and failed.
    However, the failure notice will be on the computerisation database and you may legally be making an offence in an unroadworthy vehicle.

    (While the last sentence sounds like it was written by Borat, you get the gist.)

    Nope, a pass is valid for a year after the day of the test

    OK, let me try this again, maybe an mot cannot be revoked? accepted. BUT If you fail an MOT before it's due there will be a record of this lodged with the DVLA, yes?

    Given the mot delares the car is fit for the road on that day?

    But the 11 month mot states it is not?

    This is lodged with the DVLA.

    What is the situation at 11.5 months when the suspension fails and the car causes a major???

    Answers on a postcard please:confused:

    Just the same situation if the brakes failed.

    Nothing to do with the car not having a valid MOT though.
