More worryingly when issues are pointed out to customers they just shrug there shoulders and say it can wait till MOT day. Or even accuse the garage of fishing for work.

I believe he can hold the vehicles until repairs to make them roadworthy are done, be the repairs are done by him or another party, if the vehicles leave in a dangerous state and get involved in a serious incident it can all come back to him for letting it go back out. My old tester in Kent done this on several occasions that i know of and they didn't need the work.

The current law is a vehicle registered before 1st Jan 1960 no longer requires an M.O.T., but from May this year any vehicle 40 years old or over will become M.O.T. exempt as well. The Government weren't happy about doing it, but E.U. legislation forced it to fall into line with the rest of the E.U.

At this precise moment Pre 1960 vehicles do not need an MOT, as from May this year any vehicle over 40 years of age will not need a mandatory test, but the Muppets that will ride/drive a vehicle that is deemed unfit will still be liable and garages undertaking work on such vehicles are obligated to stop these vehicles going back out on the road until made fit for purpose, but as usual our lily livered government has conformed to the Euro Nazis demands and capitulated.

Ah, that explains it. my fathers bikes are fifties bikes.

I will be getting my bikes MOTed even though I have rebuilt my bikes myself and have been building bikes for nearly 40 years I would never take a bike out unless it was completely roadworthy, but how many that are not roadworthy are going to be involved in accidents and gurinteed insurance companies will use that as an excuse to not pay out ,could you imagine been involved in an accident where someone was seriously hurt or worse and there was a seven figure claim against an insurance company, they ask did you have an MOT and never mind how many years you have owned been rebuilding working on bikes are you qualified to say that the bike was safe they will use anything so be warned.
