chilli Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Mot expired the other day, been waiting for my nice new tyres since then. Got those now, need to get to a garage to get them fitted, technically I can't drive it though? Only to a place of MOT, so it should be towed! There is no way I'm towing it, and no way I'm trusting a mobile fitter... so what gives, I just have to go for it and hope for the best? what a stupid law! can't wait to get mot'd and back on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dublin Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Its legal to drive a car with no MOT as long as you are driving to an MOT station for a booked appointment (once you're insured obvoiusly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Its legal to drive a car with no MOT as long as you are driving to an MOT station for a booked appointment Which is what he said in the initial post. Remove the wheels and leave it on bricks Personally I'd just drive it, but I'm a bad ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 You can drive it to have work done for the MOT too as long as it's pre booked. I'm like 99.9% certain of that. Doug will probably remember better than me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 It's insured and taxed. The place doing the mot can no do the tyres, the place that does the tyres does not do mots I think (but I'll check that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug will probably remember better than me though. ahhh yes, see that's what I thought but the letter of the law doesn't seem to indicate that clearly, maybe it's a generally accepted thing unless you get a b@stard copper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dublin Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The place doing the mot can no do the tyres Did nay realise this. Drive to the MOT place via the tyre place? Keep receipt from tyre place in car. Would want to be a fairly strict copper to do you for something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Seriously I went through this with Doug with my car. I expect he will see this and confirm but I'm sure that was the case. Unless I am getting confused, which is not altogether impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug will probably remember better than me though. You are 100% correct. If you get pulled, you will probably get a producer, if so then just take the details of the garage and time of pre booked appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiversteve Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 If you are going to 'The Garage' for your MOT, Nick will give you a post dated booking. If you understand what I mean in Worlds End. Frankly a copper must be in a bad mood to book you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 No probs to drive to the garage to get them fitted for the mot. HOWEVER, if they are in a dangerous condition you could still get done appointment or no appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly a copper must be in a bad mood to book you. Hey, what do you know, I think it will be going to "The Garage" in worlds end for the mot, are you psychic lol?, they said they might be able to do the tyres too but I wasn't convinced they'd be ok with low profile 35 series tyres having previously had bad experiences with garages and low profiles (got a damaged wheel on a previous car) Small world though, you know Nick? He's always been good with Mots down there I think the copper would have to be in a bad mood, was just wondering really. I think I'll have to take the chance on it, I'll only be going straight there and back, then it's only next outing will be straight for the mot itself then I can start using it again woot!
