In the event of an accident however your insurance company can declare the policy void and refuse to pay out. This is not hear say as I know somebody this happened to
so steve you know someone who had a early MOT done and even though his car had a MOT he had a crash and he got told there was NO mot
or are you saying he had a new style early MOT done and he never got paied out
need to hear more details as if he was comming from the MOT station to get it fixed as hes car did not pass then he CAN NOT be held responsable
IF how ever he had a crash after being told his floor has nothing but rust and all his brake fluid was missing and 4 days later he was on his way to work in the same death trap even though he had a MOt from 11 months ealier then HE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING THE CAR< ITS HES FAULT
the mot is ment to prove the car IS safe and well looked after, not a test for old bangers to scrap a pass by the skin of there teeth with minor work
thats why the mot thing is problematin imo
but in all honesty i cant see how legally they can do anything for not having a MOT as the car DOES have one
the car not being road worthy and dangerous to drive is obviously a matter thats different, again just like a bald tyre
btw if a car fails a MOT for having no brakes and bald tyres you are still legally allowed to drive the car home aswell as take it o a garage to get the work done to it and the unsurance company can not say anything
