The penalty for driving without an MOT certificate can be upwards of £1,000 in fines.
If you are driving a car that has no MOT and has faults that are deemed ‘dangerous,’ then you can receive a greater punishment.
A fine of up to £2,500, three penalty points on your licence, and in extreme circumstances, a ban from driving.
It’s also worth noting that should you be fined for driving without an MOT twice within a 3-year period, you may also receive a six-month driving ban.
Fines for MOTs are classified as fixed penalty notices. This means that if you have been handed one, you have 28 days to pay. Fine payments can be made through the gov.uk website.
When paying your fine, you will need to have the notice number, offence code, and the date of the offence.
