I've got this humming noise coming from the rear which starts about 25mph and seems to get louder the quicker I go. Has nothing to do with gears or brakes. Having looked around online it seems like its the rear wheel bearings in one of both rear wheels.

Does anyone know how long you can drive with a dodgy wheel bearing? I drive about 40 miles a day to work and thats the only thing I use the car for. Its an old car 02 reg and has done 127k miles and my MOT / insurance is up middle of September. I am also starting a new job in october which has a company car with it.

Im therefore not going to spend any money getting this fixed if its going to be max for a month and a half but do not want to continue driving it if its seriously unsafe (which im guessing it might be).

Any advice?
