MOT repairs and pre-MOT checks
If your car or van has failed its MOT or come back with advisories, D&R can carry out the repairs: brakes, suspension, steering, exhausts, lights and emissions faults. A check before the test can also catch the common failure points while there's still time to sort them.

Build a booking messageCan I drive my car after it fails its MOT?
Only if the old certificate is still valid and no 'dangerous' problems were listed. GOV.UK says you can be fined up to £2,500, banned from driving and get 3 penalty points for driving a vehicle that failed because of a dangerous problem.
Can you tell me which advisories matter?
Send a photo of the advisory list and the reg on WhatsApp, and D&R can tell you what needs doing now and what can wait.
