Let's say I have an MOT until Feb. If took my car for a new MOT tomorrow and it failed would I still be able to 'use' the old MOT until Feb or would the new one state that I can't legally drive it around at all?

Right, I rang VOSA and they said that even if you fail a new MOT, your old one is still valid until it expires, but only on the basis that the faults reported are rectified. So tvrgit you are indeed correct - thanks!

It passed anyway biggrin
