my cousin got pulled with No MOT last week, he got 7 days to MOT it and it failed on a wheel bearing,,
the keeper that he bought the car from said it had 3months left on it but didnt have the certificate.. but the copper recons it dont have any MOT
so what will happen if he produces without and MOT certificate?? am i right saying that its not Endorsable so he'll get a fine and no points??

Be worse than that! Why would he take the owners word for it having a MOT?

If you know the day/place it was MOT'd you can get a copy.

well obviously if its not logged on the cops records i very much doubht that it has MOT,
was wondering what he will get done for..

davsmith64

take it u dont know then

RS SHORTIE

Get the bearing sorted, job done

Stavros

cant get points for no MOT or no tax, he will be ok in that way at least

davsmith64

he needs to produce by tomorrow

prob might have to go to court, but only minor slap on wrist 80 quid fine maybe but no points

LEE-RS

its just a £50 fine and no points

but if its got no mot how come he as 7 days to mot it because it needs to be mot'd the day he was stopped

davsmith64

so i was right then

davsmith64

the copper pulled him, said to him, i'll give you 7 days to get it tested and produce..

at least he gave him a chance..

danneth

i thought it was 3 points and £60 fine for no MOT

LEE-RS

you sure he didnt give him 7 days to produce the mot that it supposed to have rarther than get it mot'd in 7 days because even if he mot'd it the day after he was stopped it would count as not having no mot

davsmith64

dunno, i may have understood him wrong, but say if u got pulled with a dodgy tyre like i did, they gid me 7 days to get it changed..

i used to be a smallish fine (about £100-£150ish) but wasnt endorsable with points but the fine would depend on his previous driving record. the police would already know if it had a avlid mot or not as all the information to do with your car is on their database so maybe he was using his discretion to give him a chance to mot asap. im not sure though how it effect his insurance as technically it shouldnt be on the road so wouldnt be covered which is a whole new ballgame altogether
