It depends on the reason for the failure.

If your vehicle has been marked with a “dangerous” defect, you should not drive it until the fault has been repaired. Driving a car with a dangerous defect can put you and other road users at risk, and you could be fined if stopped.

If the failure is classed as a major defect, and your previous MOT certificate is still valid, you may be able to drive the vehicle to a pre-booked repair appointment. However, the car must remain roadworthy. If the defect affects safety, like brakes, tyres or steering, it is strongly advised not to continue driving.

Always check the classification on your MOT certificate and seek advice if you are unsure. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and arrange repairs before using the vehicle again.
