    Prior to new MOT changes that came into effect in May this year, if your existing MOT had not passed expiry date, then it was still a valid MOT certificate and the failure did not revoke that.

    New rules since May makes things tougher.

    A dangerous fault under new rules means it must come off the road right away and any time left on the existing MOT is revoked. It cannot be driven until repairs done and a pass is re-issued.

    They can't hold you hostage, you have every right to leave with your car. You need to take your car away on a trailer to do it legally. If not and you get caught (or the garage reports you) then you can get a hefty fine, a ban and are driving illegally (and uninsured as your insurance isn't valid without an MOT).

    It's worth noting that possession of a valid MOT certificate is not proof your car is roadworthy.

    your insurance is not invalid without a mot. just because your car has not got a current mot does not mean it is not road worthy. I know because I have been stopped recently without a current mot
