10 Million Have Driven Without An MOT

August 18, 2013 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

In a shock survey result of The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), it was revealed that 10 million have driven at some point without a valid MOT (the survey was conducted with 1,000 people). 67% of people admitted driving for up to a week without a valid MOT certificate; 24% for up to a month; 7% for as long as six months. Which category do you fall into?

To help motorists remember to have their car tested each year, SMMT has teamed up with the Trading Standards-approved garage network, Motor Codes, to offer car owners a free MOT service reminder. Available at www.passmymot.co.uk, the service will send motorists a reminder every year before their car’s annual test of roadworthiness is due.

I’d certainly recommend this free service to ensure you don’t fall foul of not having an MOT.
