dodgy MOT?
Comments

Tyres could have been swapped to another car after the MOT, remember it only needs to be legal for 30 minutes of the year.
My car passed it's MOT without a spare making it legal, when I got home I put the spare back in the car (with illegal) tread, the car now would fail an MOT.
And yes, I know I should change the tyre, I keep forgetting when I'm at Costco!
A car does not need a spare wheel to pass an MOT,(it isn't even checked), nor does the spare need to be legal if kept in its space, it only becomes illegal, if it does not conform to regs, when fitted to one of the wheels that make contact with the road.

c) No, because the spare wheel and tyre are not examined in the MOT.[/FONT]
