But that doesn't explain the situation where the failure does not make the
car unroadworthy. If the tyres are illegal then it clearly is unroadworthy
as well as being an MOT failure.

But what if it fails because a headlamp bulb has blown and you would be
driving home in daylight and good visibility?

And if it starts to rain and you need to use your headlights?

Its still an offence and because you have a fail notice you won't get away
with saying it must have just failed and may not be given the opportunity to
fix it before they issue a summons.
