MOT Failure
If your car fails its MOT:
- You will receive a refusal of MOT certificate (VT30)
- Your vehicle must be repaired and retested to meet MOT standards
- Your insurance may not cover MOT failure, so you are advised not to drive it, except to an approved test centre or a garage for repairs.
- Why your car failed its MOT will be stated on your refusal of MOT certificate and what needs to be fixed in order for it to pass. If specialist repairs like welding or emissions failures need to be made, they may not be able to be made immediately.
- If your car can be tested, repaired and retested at the same location within a 10-working day period then there should be no additional charge for retesting, this is known as a partial re-examination. Although, there are certain repairs that cannot be fixed under a partial re-examination.
- A partial re-examination will check the items that the car failed on in the original MOT test as long as they are one or more of the following items.
