MOT running out advice

[DerickCuster]

Hey guise,

if any of you are familiar with my other post regarding my car being damaged by a 3rd party then you wont need to read the next line

My car got damaged around 3 weeks ago (was going to book MOT the week after), and i claimed on the 3rd parties insurance and got a hire car etc..

My MOT runs out on the 12th of September and my car only now got put in for it's repairs, I was advised NOT to put in for an MOT before the repairs as any damage that fails the MOT would see me paying for it.
So I waited. Now I got the car to be booked in at the repair garage to be done after the repairs so a few weeks. do I need to ring anyone (DVLA, .gov etc...) to let them know (my insurance knows all this)

Thanks

No, just two things.

Firstly make sure it's not going to be kept on a public highway while it's not got an MOT, secondly you'll have to MOT it before you can use it again.

As above...just make sure it's not kept on the road and when you pick it up, drive straight to a pre-booked MOT.

That shouldn't be a problem as their garage is private property and not near a public highway. The only downside is i have to returns the hire car when the repairs are done so i got to walk to pick up my MOT'd car
