   Not true, the previous expiry date still applies, but if the car has failed an early test then it's an offence to drive that vehicle as it's not legally roadworthy, despite having a valid MOT.

   If car fails MOT is the old test certificate still valid until its expiry date? Well the answer does not seem to be found on any of the government information about the MOT test, so we emailed VOSA with this question and this is their response: "An MOT certificate is valid until its expiry date. However if your vehicle fails a test before this date and you do not rectify the defects then you are driving an unroadworthy vehicle which is an offence." So to put this into context if your car fails the MOT due to illegal tyres then you are driving an unroadworthy vehicle, you were driving unroadworthy vehicle before the MOT, and you will be driving an unroadworthy vehicle until you get a new tyre. Therefore at anytime if caught you would be subject to a £2500 fine and 3 points per illegal tyre. However once you get a new tyre your car is roadworthy and the old MOT is still valid until its expiry date, thus you can then drive your car again and get it retested to your timescale, with out worrying about driving without an MOT.

   its not rusty and the bodywork has a few scars no service history .as for mot whether its valid or not the car is still the same condition and it would be worth alot more if it had 12 months .
