What happens if your vehicle's MOT is expired?

  1. You can still drive if insured

  2. You cannot legally drive on the road

  3. You may face only a small fine

  4. You will be allowed to drive for 14 days

The correct answer is: You cannot legally drive on the road

If your vehicle's MOT has expired, you cannot legally drive it on the road. The MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is a mandatory annual check for vehicles over three years old to ensure they meet road safety and environmental standards. Driving without a valid MOT certificate is considered illegal, and you could face penalties such as fines and points on your driving record. Ensuring that your vehicle has a current MOT is essential for both your safety and the safety of other road users, as it assures that your vehicle is roadworthy. If you're caught driving an unroadworthy vehicle, you could also face prosecution, which often involves more serious consequences than a simple fine.
