What Happens If Your Car Fails Its MOT?
A minor fault, such as a bulb or wiper blade, is often quick to put right, and the vehicle can be retested once it’s fixed.
A more involved fault, such as worn brakes, suspension or structural corrosion, usually needs proper repair work before the vehicle can pass.
Minor fault
Usually straightforward — get it fixed and retested.
