Sat waiting for my MOT fail list :(

If it fails it fails, it will void anything remaining of the old MOT. You can only drive it to and from the test centre

Not actually true. I asked my MOT tester (and a VOSA rep) where you stand if your car fails its MOT before the previous one runs out. They said it is a grey area, VOSA do NOT give rules one way or the other. It doesn't invalidate the previous MOT and you can still drive it (given that the failures aren't serious), but if you do get stopped by the police you can be done for driving with a defective vehicle. So, realistically it is safer not to drive it, but it isn't technically illegal (there is no law against it) and the failure does NOT invalidate the previous certificate.

Having said that, because there is no real standing on it a police officer *could* swing it in their favour, so like I say, safer not to drive.

And nice one on the pass, I was also waiting for mine to fail last Saturday but it passed, with different advisories to the ones I was expecting. Rear left indicator faded, rear right indicator faded, load sensor stiff and corrosion within the specified area in the rear passenger arch.
