Can you still drive it?

GOV.UK says you can take the car away if your current MOT is still valid and no dangerous problems were listed. Otherwise it needs fixing before you drive it. It must still be roadworthy at all times. Read the official MOT result rules.

Retests

If the car stays at the test centre for repair and is retested within 10 working days, the partial retest is free. Some small items are free to retest if you bring the car back by the end of the next working day. Check the GOV.UK retest rules with your test centre.

MOT fee cap

The maximum fee for a car MOT is set by the government. See the current MOT fees.

Free MOT history lookup

Type any registration into our free MOT history check. It shows every MOT test with the date, result, mileage, failures and advisories, and points out mileage drops and advisories that keep coming back. The data comes from the DVSA. Nothing you type is saved.

Is it worth fixing?

Sometimes the repair costs more than the car is worth. Once you have real prices, compare them with what the car would sell for. If fixing it does not make sense, you can tell us about the car or ask us to look out for a replacement. Our guide MOT failed: what to do next goes through it step by step.

Common questions

Can I drive my car after it fails the MOT?

GOV.UK says you can take it away if your current MOT is still valid and no dangerous problems were listed. Otherwise it must be repaired before you drive it. It must always be roadworthy.

Do I have to get the repairs done at the test centre?

No. You can take the car elsewhere if it is safe and legal to drive. Check the retest rules first, because leaving the car at the test centre for repair can make the partial retest free within 10 working days.

What should I send you?

The make, model and year, the failure items and advisories from the MOT sheet, and the first half of your postcode. A photo of the sheet is ideal.
