Hi guys, googled around but can't find a definitive answer on this one.
My MX5 has been off the road for months now, as I've gradually been repairing a load of stuff on it. During that time, the sills have taken a nose dive and there's no way it'll get through an MOT. Ideally, I would like to book it in to get repaired somewhere decent and *then* get an MOT.
However, it seems like I might only be allowed to drive it to a place of repair (pre booked of course) following a failed MOT. This would be most annoying as I doubt I'd get it turned around in time for a free retest, and hence I will have to throw money away for a test I know it's going to fail.
Thoughts, comments and general abuse all welcome
EDIT: oh and I should also point out the obvious - the current MOT has expired so I can't just drive it anyway
