You can get a vehicle MoTd as often as you like.
Its still an un-roadworthy car if it fails, or did you miss that?
No, it's not necessarily.
You ought to learn the difference between 'unroadworthy' and 'MoT
failure'.

Suggest you look at the response from VOSA
onhttp://www.mottest.net/mot/mot-failure-question/

But that doesn't explain the situation where the failure does not
make the car unroadworthy.

What situation is that? Read the quote again. An MOT failure is
unroadworthy by definition.

Not all MOT checks are safety related.


Yeah - the lambda test - emissions, for example

has no bearing as to it is roadworthy or not
