MOTs on cars that will fail next one...

[Tim Watts]

The cannot do that - even if they car was "dangerous" the most they could do is phone the police when you drove away.

[Adrian]

I suspect it was "And you ain't DRIVING it away..." rather than "And you ain't having it back..."

[The Natural Philosopher]

I told them they had no right to refuse it since it had a valid MOT certificate. And would involve the police if they refused to hand over the keys.

[The Natural Philosopher]

There is absolutely none, which is how I got it back. It was a pure try on.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Oh they can, if you don't threaten to call the police. I had to pay for (unauthorised) work already done.
