United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Zermatt Silver
MOT - Wakefield Area West Yorkshire

Hi,

My Freelander is due for its MOT, and this is the first time I've put one through an MOT.

Can anyone recommend a good place to take it in the Wakefield area of West Yorkshire.

Although I would be willing to travel a bit further for a decent place.

Thanks in Advance Max.

As above Guy Salmon have a good reputation, no other advice to offer. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

Purely based on what I've read on the internet, try a local council testing station. They don't make a profit on "repairs" SD4 HSE Lux Orkney Grey,Full size spare tyre,Ugly kid glass.

I could well be wrong here so I'm sure somebody can answer this...... I thought council testing places didn't do repairs. If a car fails and the old MOT ticket hasn't expired, can the vehicle still be driven? OR as the system is computerised now, once a car fails an MOT, if the car is driven away to do repairs elsewhere can you be prosecuted for driving a car without a valid MOT?? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Our council do not do any repairs and they are very keen as they cannot be seen to be doing anything wrong.

It depends why your car failed the MOT. Assuming you've got at least a day left on your MOT, you can drive away from a failed test with impunity. It is not an offence to drive with a failed MOT but it is an offence to drive with an expired MOT.

That said, if the nature of the MOT failure renders the vehicle in a dangerous condition or contravenes construction and use regs (ie a light out) then you may commit an offence by driving it on a road.

HTH.
