If your vehicle fails to meet the standards set by the DVSA, it will not pass its MOT test and will need to be repaired before an MOT pass certificate can be issued. In the UK, having a valid MOT certificate is a legal requirement. Without it, you won’t be able to renew your road tax until your vehicle successfully passes the MOT and a current pass certificate is provided.

Our experienced service advisors will guide you on the best way to get your vehicle back on the road, providing expert advice on the necessary repairs to ensure your car meets the required standards.

If your vehicle fails its MOT test, you are not permitted to drive it any further, unless you’re driving to a pre-booked repair or MOT appointment, and no serious faults have been identified.

MOT testing is carried out according to strict criteria set by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), and your vehicle must meet the minimum safety and environmental standards to pass.

Despite this, research has shown that over four million drivers have admitted to driving their vehicles without a valid MOT. Without a current MOT certificate, you won’t be able to renew your road tax, and more importantly, you will be driving illegally.

At Cross Street Garage, we have a policy not to fit tyres or other parts supplied by customers, opting instead to use our own trusted suppliers. This policy is in place for two key reasons: firstly, safety – as we want to ensure the integrity and quality of the parts used on your vehicle; and secondly, warranty support – by using our own suppliers, we can provide clear responsibility and reliable warranty coverage if any issues arise with the product or service in the future.
