What happens if I fail my MOT test?
If your car doesn’t pass its MOT test, driving is unsafe, and you cannot operate it on public roads until it is repaired and retested. You will also receive a “Refusal of an MOT Test Certificate” (VT30) that lists the problems. To get a valid MOT certificate, you must repair your car and have it retested.
