If the repair is completed within 10 working days, either by the original garage or elsewhere and then you return to the original garage for a retest, you only need to pay for a partial MOT retest. This costs less than the full fee.
If you complete the repairs yourself and choose to take your car into a different test centre, you will need to pay for the full test again.
● The MOT certificate from the previous year is still valid
● No ‘dangerous’ faults were recorded during the failure
You must not drive your car after a failed MOT if it doesn’t meet the above requirements.
