It's even worse when you have things to sort out on the car. Luckily I can get someone to pass me with a De-Cat.

 

[AK]

Yes mate.

 

[AK]

Cool cheers

 

[benmore]

what is the punishment now for driving without MOT?

 

[Tom84]

im sure its only a 40 quid fine but think your insurance is invalid without an mot

 

[Alfonz]

when your car is due its first MOT after the 3 years from manufacture, are you sent notice from renault or DVLA?

EDITED- SORRY didnt read ak-sac-06 post. well im pretty sure mine is due soon but ive not recieved anything yet.!

 

[AK]

i dunno how to multi-quote !

Look ^^^

 

[iimushroomzii]

4 months?!?!?! Jeeze.

 

[LFCJosh]

i didnt have a MOT for the whole of october didnt relise.

 

[jenic]

I never forget my MOT, its due with my car tax, bike tax, bike service, bike insurance and until this year my car insurance.

 

[benmore]

so the punishment is only a 40 quid fine?

I thought it was along the lines of crushing the car etc seen as it seems "more important" than tax in my opinion as it determines how road worthy a car is?

might just be me being silly but if they can crush for not paying your road tax, surely they can do worse for not having an MOT?

I dunno though.. anyone know for sure? google is my friend. this is probly just me making a pointless post. lol

 

[Sarah]

living in the isle of man FTW

 

[Munson]

I heart this thread. I'm sure mine is due around now. Probably about a week ago. I'll check my documents tomorrow. Danke!

I agree. But there is very little punishment for no MOT.

And as people always say that it invalidates your insurance. People saying it does are wrong.

[Tom84]

[Ian_182]

Mine ran out on the 8th december last year.

Got it done last week.

 

[brisa4984]

lol got confused,

 

[Reyes]

wtf

 

[Pete.]

I didn't receive any reminder from the DVLA or Renault about getting my first MOT last year. luckily I checked the date it was due. Now I've got two cars that need MOT at the beginning of July. Almost on first name terms with the examiner. He did try to advise me that my headlights were too blue. Xenons ftw.

 

[joker182]

Punishment for no MOT--- crucifiction for the first offence-- nail em up , nail some sense into them

 

[AlexG]

My brother done it, went over by 2 months. He is an MOT tester aswell FLOL!
