We always keep a keen eye on MOT news. We were staggered to hear that according to Halfords there are currently 1.2 million vehicles out on the road that do not have a valid MOT. This is alarming.

Throughout 2025 we wrote about how important it is for motorists to find the right and reliable garage to carry out MOT inspections. There were garages offering MOT inspections for £5, a ridiculously low price. We talked of the dangers of getting your MOT inspection carried out for a price as low as £5, from shoddy inspections to missed faults on vehicles.

But this latest revelation is disturbing. So, if you are one of those motorists that feel it is not necessary to get a valid MOT, lets give you a few reasons why you should. First reason is if you are driving a vehicle that has a hazard then you could be endangering yourself when out on the road as well as members of the general public. Second reason is this, you are going to cause even more damage to your car leading to more costly bills to repair those faults, and lastly if you have not got a valid MOT you will be liable for fines and be prosecuted, and nobody wants that.
