Hi there need some help, my mother has just bought a 14 plate corsa and was gonna trade in her 05 corsa sxi+ but they offered a st trade in price so Im selling it for her privately. Its not due mot until may but it will sell better with a full ticket of course
I had it pre-mot'd yesterday n its gonna need 3 tyres 1 is cracked badly and 2 have slight inside of tyre wear, Im gonna replace 2 tyres to try n keep cost down but would i get away with putting spare on for mot? Its a 16inch wheel same as the others but not same tyre profile.
Thanks

Pre-MOT'd? I've got a pint on that being an MOT and it failed.
If its been "pre-MOT" by an official tester and its failed the car is an MOT fail and will appear so on the system. Do not drive the car on the road unless its back to the test station for a retest. So many don't realise this and simply assume the prevailing MOT pass does the job sadly it doesn't.

Well yeah, if the car's not roadworthy, it can't be driven on the road. The existence of an MoT does not, in itself, make a car roadworthy.So many don't realise this and simply assume the prevailing MOT pass does the job sadly it doesn't.
But that doesn't change whether the car passed an MoT 11 months ago, failed one yesterday, or is currently a hulk of burning metal.
The prevailing MoT is NOT revoked. An MoT failure is a failure to grant a new certificate. It is, at most, evidence that the car was not roadworthy when presented, just like an MoT pass is evidence that the car was roadworthy - when presented.
Edit: usually a 'pre=MoT' means that the car isn't tested on the system whatsoever, but someone looks it over to spot potential failures.

Driving a vehicle which not only isn't roadworthy, but knowingly doing so.
But the only offence is the construction and use one, not the MoT certificate.Yes, it might be done knowingly, but that doesn't really change anything - the offence is made out whether or not the driver checked the car first. It *might* be an aggravating factor, but it's such a low-level offence in terms of sentencing...
More importantly, once the car is fixed, no further offence is committed.

A failed MOT sheet in itself does not constitute an offence, if the vehicle is in a roadworthy state and within the 12 month validity period of a previously issued MOT certificate.
