Surely it wouldn't ever be worth their while unless it was

That's exactly how it works. Mate paid 80 quid for one recently.
The car wasn't unsafe - just had some features which would fail an
MOT.


can you post details so it can be reported?

if not then you are also guilty of a crime.

What are you, some kind of grass?

You would not last long on the inside.


Not a problem, I am not expecting to last much longer outside.
I am already 12 months older than they gave me.

And this is how you want to spend your borrowed time?
By reporting MOTs for unroadworthy cars???

You'd have to define unroadworthy. You can fail an MOY because the
windscreen washer bottle is empty. Or a sidelight out, when everyone
drives on dipped headlights. Or an iffy handbrake on an auto where it is
never ever used. And so on.

Or a more pertinent one. There are regs about fitting aftermarket HID to
headlights. But not similar for LED.

And of course those famous diesel VWs that had no trouble fooling the
emissions tests at MOT time.
