No MOT

[groucho]

My mate has just been done for it. He reckons it's not a pointable offence, I do. Who is right? To be honest, I'm not sure.

[Tyre Smoke]

I'm fairly sure it's been posted on here before that it's not. Just a fixed penalty fine, same as mis-spaced/no numberplates.

Non endorseable.

But the police can confiscate the car, IIRC

[Dwight VanDriver]

For No Insurance or No Driving licence they can impound but no MOT no.

But if there are defects they can issue a prohibition on use until such time as it complies.

Ok I know what is the point of prohibition when its use is already illegal......

No MOT
Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988
Max fine £1,000 if a normal motor car.
No points or discretionary disqualification.
....................(but Court could disqualify under another Act)

Really, in effect the MOT is only valid until the car is taken away from the MOT station, then all sorts of things can be changed, and the car still has an MOT
