Strange question coming up!!!!

It went straight through its last MOT so it shouldnt need much doing to it for a new ticket.

Question..... i know you can legally drive a car to an MOT station if its booked in..
Would i be able to book it into an MOT station in leicester (distance from his house, well Coventry to leicester) Also , what about road tax (you cant tax it without a valid MOT ) so would it be legal to drive it to the station without the tax too?

Mark Questioning

May 2011 at 16:25 you can drive a car to a pre-arranged mot test without tax and mot but it must be insured and the test station should be within a reasonable distance

COOL Thumbs Up!

I am honestly not sure you can rely on this, I was always told this only counts for booking the car into the closest test station - which definition I have stretched once or twice Wink

- I guess if the car looks smart then then the risk of a pull is not huge, and certainly don't want to p_ss on your chips so good luck and hope you can get this car on the road where it belongs.

Reasonable distance means in the same town or city Shocked

If you get pulled by the rozzers, they will have your gonads on a plate Wink

Thats if you don't crash it first Wink

Remember its been stood for 15 months so the brakes are going to be abit dodgy Roll Eyes

IMO, if the MOT station knows all the facts about the car ( 15 months / brakes ) and said drive it, I wouldn't touch them Wink

I'd say that 30miles (Coventry to leicester) is not too far, especially if you play the card that they have a specialist mechanic who deals with omegas or something, and that they are the garage you use all the time etc.

Bearing in mind, that within the 30 mile distance, it will be getting less and less far as you travel, so you may even get stopped withing 5 miles of it and they wont know how far you've driven.

Tbh, i would and have done it in the past, but not more than 30 miles.....but then i lived in the middle of nowhere and my village was 30 miles from the nearest town.....so i dont know if thats a good example.

Thinking seriously i could ask him to MOT it , or at least get the test done to see whats what with the car. I think a couple of weekends over coventry way to prep it first . Brakes will need a good check over, probably replace the fluid etc.... engine fluids and maybe a new battery. I'll ring him tomorrow to find out more info.

Thanks for all the interest Thumbs Up!
