i have just realised the mot and service on our car was due a week ago. I have booked an mot for tomorrow morning and won't drive the car until then and will just drive straight to garage however i cant get service until next saturday. Will i be okay to drive it if it passes mot between now and next saturday?

Cant belive i forgot this, i am normally organised with things like this. Also what will happen about the fact that i am late in getting mot? will it cause me any problems?

thanks for advice

    Don't worry about the service just book it in and carry on driving since it is 3 years old it will be out of warranty (in most cases).

    As for the MOT don't worry about it and just drive it to the station. You haven't been caught so you should be OK. My only caveat would be is if you can get it off the street just in case it is noticed.

    Don't sweat it and remember to pop the sticker that comes with an MOT on the windscreen or door pillar to remind you.
