Sure, but only provided that your current MOT certificate is still valid. When your current MOT certificate expires, you won't be able to drive legally, even if you choose to drive to a different garage for the repairs. You may face consequences if you keep driving your vehicle without a valid MOT. Police use ANPR, which checks a car's insurance, MOT, and tax status. You risk being charged with a crime if your MOT is invalid.

What to prepare for your MOT test?

There are a few simple adjustments you can make to increase the likelihood that your car will pass as well as help the tester complete the test more quickly and easily.

• Keeping your automobile clean is a fundamental courtesy when bringing it to a garage. Although it's not necessary for it to be immaculate, it's never fun to test a car that has empty takeout containers and other similar items in it. In actual condition, the car's tester has the right to decline the MOT Havant. Here are our recommendations: just take out anything unnecessary. And your boot space is included in this!
• If you have the time, wash off the number plates so that your registration is easily seen. Number plate visibility is examined.
• How do your windscreen wipers perform? Any crying will fail. Getting them changed before your test is not too difficult.
• Are all of your lights on? To inspect each window, either park in front of it or have a buddy to assist you.
• Inspect your tyre tread. All you need is a 20p coin and no equipment to complete this task. In the tyre tread groove, insert the coin. You meet the minimal criterion of 1.6mm if the coin's outside ring is invisible. If the penny is still visible, you must get your tyres changed immediately by visiting a tyre professional.
•  Refresh every level under the hood. We can all easily check to see if we have enough screenwash and oil. If you're not sure which oils or fluids your car needs, you can bring it in and we'll take care of it for you or you can talk to our staff.
• Does the horn function properly? To ensure that the horn is still operational, the simplest and fastest way to check is to give it a small toot.
• Which of your mirrors are loose and shaky, or do you have any fractures in them? For optimal utilisation, mirrors must be secure.
• The vehicle identification number (VIN) on the bodywork of your automobile should always match the VIN recorded in your V5C logbook. These are often printed from the outside on the door sill or at the bottom of the windscreen on the driver's side. The VIN written here must be readable. Make sure to eliminate anything that may be obstructing your vision.

What are MOT advisories?

Advisories and minor flaws are two different things.

Not serious enough to fail the test, but yet in need of immediate remedy, is referred to as a minor flaw.

The places that are not currently faulty but are often "wear and tear" items that will eventually break and require replacement are highlighted by advisories. Something like the tyre tread approaching the minimum tread depth might be the cause of this. It is important to check into this as it will only become worse with time, even though you won't fail the MOT.

What to bring for your MOT test?

Make sure you bring the V5C logbook for your automobile if this is the first time you are taking it for a checkup or if it is the first time after you changed the registration plates. Simply bring your car to any other MOT; it's that simple! Although all MOT records are now kept in an online database, the garage will be able to access this if necessary. You are welcome to bring your prior MOT certificate with you.

Can you fail an MOT test on tyre pressure?

No, although the regulations were altered in 2015. Your car will now automatically fail its MOT if it has a light on for the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). We strongly advise having your tyres checked before your MOT test because under- or overinflated tyres can potentially result in a failure.

Is it possible to tax my car without a MOT certificate?

You no longer need to carry your MOT Test Havant certificate around in order to obtain your road tax because it is now all kept in the government's database. Nonetheless, a current certificate is a need. Your automobile cannot be taxed if it does not have a valid MOT certificate, which prevents you from being able to drive lawfully. The only circumstances in which you may drive your vehicle without paying taxes and getting a motoroscope are when you have an appointment scheduled in advance and you have documentation to support your appointment.

What happens if your MOT is missed?

You are not legally permitted to drive your car on the road if your MOT certificate has expired, and you risk fines of up to £1,000 if you are discovered driving without one. In addition, driving without a MOT will void your insurance coverage, meaning your insurers won't pay for any accidents you may have.
