What Happens if I Fail my MOT?

First of all, you can relax – it’s not the end of the world. While in some very specific cases vehicles can be on their “last legs” and it’ll cost more to get the car up to roadworthy standard than to simply replace it, in most situations on the spot car repairs can get you back on the road safely and legally.
