pre mot?

[ashj22]

i need a new mot in 6 weeks, is it worth taking the car in now to see what needs to be done so i can put money aside if needed. i red that you can still drive your car on the road as long as it has a valid mot even if your car wouldnt pass an mot at any given time, but you cant drive it on the road even if the car has a valid mot if it is deemed unroadworthy. at the minute my car has no horn and no spare wheel or spare wheel carrier i know i need to get these fixed for the mot but if i took the car to the garage for them to check for other things that might need doing would it already be deemed unroadworthy? thanks

No spare wheel or carrier doesn't matter. If it's not there it can't be tested.

You dont need to have a spare wheel for the MOT, so dont bother with that ;)

Its upto you, by all means take it in for a check up / service, however if you take it in for an early MOT and it fails then you've got no MOT.

Get down to a scrappy for a new horn, piece of cake pal!

Check your bulbs etc but wait until 4 weeks because if it possesses you get 13 months mot. It gives you 12 from when it was due!

As above, get your mot done and if anything fails you get two weeks to sort it out anyway.
