Car failed MOT
My car failed its MOT today. It was my first car, I’ve had it two years and I’ve decided between the cost to repair and my insurance that id be better off getting rid of it. I have a buyer interested.
How do I get the car from the garage? Is the only way to get it towed? If so who is the best value company that could do that? Ive asked the garage for advice but they’ve told me I have no choice but to pay them to fix it..

For the car to fail to the point it's undriveable then you should have been aware it's on it's last legs, how much is the fix compared to what the car is worth?0

Is there no MOT on the old one left?0

Driving a vehicle that’s failed
You can take your vehicle away if your MOT certificate is still valid.
If your MOT has run out you can take your vehicle to:
have the failed defects fixed
a pre-arranged MOT test appointment
In both cases, your vehicle still needs to meet the minimum standards of roadworthiness at all times or you can be fined.0 -

Of course it does, failing an MOT doesn't remove any time remaining from previous one.0 -

Yeah, but it may make a difference to his potential buyer!0
