Your problem is that when a vehicle fails the MOT then there is an official record.

Any vehicle which fails the MOT is deemed unroadworthy – because of faulty brakes or lights not working, for example – and must not be driven on the roads.

Should you be stopped then the system would impart that information. On the way back from a test then it is legal to drive if being taken for repair but that is all.

So no working fog light on a sunny August morning is unroadworthy?

But this is January and it’s not sunny. And it happens to be foggy as well.

Everybody has a different view on what is meant by *Roadworthy* we once recovered a car after it hit a bus shelter at 8.30am on a busy road.

The Police examiner came along and checked it out - he found the front brake pads were neatly laid out in the boot. The drivers defence was that he had removed them as they were worn and he did not want to damage the discs.

Was the car roadworthy? Well he thought so.
