The difference between Dangerous and Major MOT faults – and when you can drive

In short, with a dangerous fault you cannot drive your car.

With a major fault, you might be able to drive your car if it is still roadworthy.

Remember: You can have your MOT carried out up to a month before your old MOT is due to run out, and the anniversary date will still be one year after the old certificate date – effectively meaning the MOT certificate will last for 13 months.
