Correct, NT 17 years, and had a refresher last year and last week attended a AE course, if your car fails but has a current test certificate then it does'nt cancel it, the previous certificate is still valid.
Although you can still be in trouble for knowingly driving a defective vehicle if it fails
A MOT test does'nt mean the vehicle is roadworthy, it means the vehicle has met the minimum acceptable environmental and road safety standards required .It doesn’t mean that the vehicle is roadworthy for the length of time the certificate is valid. The MOT certificate is also no guarantee of the general mechanical condition of your vehicle.
