So if your car fails the test and you have taken it to a test centre that does not do repairs what do you do? All MOT results are uploaded and stored, so any 'dangerous' faults go on the database straight away. So I would imagine there is every likelihood that you will be picked up by police cars having ANPR cameras on them if you drive it home, more money for the Government.

The law states that you would be able to drive your car home from the test centre or to somewhere that would carry out repairs, as long as the failures didn’t cause the car to be dangerously unroadworthy, in which case the MOT tester should stop you from taking it away.As for the ANPR, I think it’s highly unlikely that their database would be updated with your MOT failure that quickly, a day or two later maybe.
It will be the date that the actual MOT test is done.
Same as that, I tholught it was up to a month before the old MOT expire so you get a new MOT for 13 months.If you car has been on a SORN statement and the MOT had run out during that SORN how are you meant to get an MOT?Apart from a low loader or large trailer, or could you tow it with another car.
here's a quick question on this subject,I'm picking up a triumph 25/5 on 15 plate MOT1st MOT not due till July Dealer has agreed to MOT early, would the date be actual date it is carried out or can they date it a month in advance ie June?
