In article <7l7tn0F3cf1l1U1 (AT) mid (DOT) individual.net>, Willy Eckerslyke says... Nah, if he thinks his car's that bad, he's not going to throw away fifty quid to have it confirmed. Might not have known. Could be that its failed on all the brake pipes or needs a shedload of welding. Pah - just bought a van off Ebay - failed on MOST of its brakepipes |
ONE. Took it to the garage next door where they wirebrushed the
'corrosion' off and it passed....
Has anyone EVER seen a car brakepipe (corroded rather than damaged, and
within recent MOT) split?

I've posted about it before.

My old car goes in for an MOT this morning, two weeks before actually due. If it fails can I still drive the car on it's existing MOT until it's expiry or does the new one supersede the old one. Thanks, Bill. Do you understand what "expiry date" is? |
not to have a valid MOT as soon as it has been recorded as a fail
irresepective of the exisiting certificate's expiry date.

I think you'll find that under recent(?) changes your vehicle is deemed not to have a valid MOT as soon as it has been recorded as a fail irresepective of the exisiting certificate's expiry date. |

Seems I was wrong - or more particularly the garage mis-informed me....
I e-mailed VOSA and got the following reply:
=======================
Dear Jeremy,
Thank you for your email enquiry dated (03/11/2009), concerning the
above.
An MOT is valid until midnight on the date of expiry of the current
certificate - even if the vehicle fails an MOT prior to that date.
Please note however that the vehicle should also be kept in a
roadworthy condition and meet legal requirements at all times in order
to be driven on the public highway.
Once midnight on the date of expiry is reached, you are only legally
able to drive the vehicle directly to/from a pre-booked MOT test.
If the vehicle fails the test you are also able to drive it to a place
of repair and back to an MOT garage for re-test.
I hope this information has assisted you with your enquiry, but if you
have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Kind Regards,
Tina
