Expired MOT, valid tax and insurance

[Commuter_Tim]

I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but whilst I believe I'm legal to ride to a prebooked MOT, what happens if it fails for something minor?
Can I still legally ride home?

As long as it's not slapped with a prohibition notice/condemned.

Fucked brakes? Go get a trailer/pay him to fix it
Indicator not working fine? Ride it home and fix it/Pay him to fix it.

MOT tester will state 'in my opinion this vehicle is dangerous because' on the failure sheet.

Quick question, BCF.

This is the offence of using a vehicle without an MOT certificate (particularly S47):

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/52/part/II/crossheading/tests-of-vehicles-other-than-goods-vehicles-to-which-section-49-applies

Can anyone see the exemption that applies while taking it to, or away from, a test?

There's an exemption from VED: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/22/schedule/2/paragraph/22

But where's the MOT exemption?

Popo say yes you can:

Popo say a lot of stuff.

I accept that's very likely to be the way it will play out. It's non-endorsable anyway, and likely to be a £100 FPN mugging, worst case, if the vehicle is roadworthy.

The question was about the legality though, and I'm still not sure on it.

So what's the score with taking your vehicle for MOT a week before it runs out, it then fails, are you still legal for another week on the old MOT or is the newly issued failed MOT sheet applicable?

[Rogerborg]

The old one is still valid. Anything that makes the vehicle unroadworthy was already there before you got the MOT done. You're no worse off than you were before.

Cheers for the replies, it passed anyway.
It was just the front brakes I was concerned about.
I recently overhauled them and I was still lucky to get half a wheel spin.

Turns out all I got was him saying I didn't put it down as an advisory but "I did notice the front binding a little"
I guess my assumption that you need about 1 full turn was incorrect.
As always, its been informative.
