Thanks for the birthday wishes, I thought I'd let you all know before I Facebook it, the old decided it'd be a good time to be a rusty POS and needs £140 worth of welding done. Total MOT bill - £193.
*sigh*
Time to throw money at it till it's well.

What if you make it a 2 seater?
Not sure on the laws. Doubt that'll work tbh.

That's exactly what I said. But, we can't do that now without paying the garage for the welding, because it's there now.. And will be till Friday!

why dont you get anyone you know who can weld to do it and save money?
OP

A: I don't know anyone who can weld
B: It's not allowed to leave the MOT centre or something because it's not MOT'd or Tax'd
Something like that.

You can trailer it away, probably £30. Hire a mig welder, £50 a week or so. £25 worth of scrap plate to practice on and then weld yourself...A: I don't know anyone who can weld

Yup, you'll either fix your car or hurt yourself and then I'll laugh
Seriously though, consider it if you plan on modding in the future, take the plunge and it opens up a whole world of possibilities

Thanks manGood luck with the car Max
Also when my grey k11 failed its mot, I was allowed to drive it away to fix the problem then take it back for a re-test :/
Yeah, I've heard other people say the same..
Just off to pay the bill, and go to the post office to try to sort out some tax.

Only if the prev MOT is still valid. If it has no MOT and fails you can't legally drive it homeGood luck with the car Max

No mate, if his car fails and it doesn't have an MOT certificate still valid, he can't drive it home.
"If the vehicle fails the test and the certificate has expired, you can only drive it to:
- a pre-arranged appointment at a garage to have the repairs done
- a pre-arranged MOT test appointment"

No MOT means invalidarted insurance.
I'm sure Gov.uk doesn't lie.
On a really bad day if stopped, it'll be 6 points and car seized.

No MOT means third party only insurance and they must be called to inform them of the trip details... not cheap
I'm sure it doesn't but this is the real world and this is what actually happens
