MILLIONS of drivers are confused about the process of getting an MOT test and could be caught out with penalties such as fines, according to new research from GoCompare. The results revealed widespread confusion over a range of simple issues with the test. This included the procedure of the test, the information provided in test results and what happens after a car fails.
Alarmingly, the new research found 44 percent of drivers were unaware an expired MOT test would risk invalidating their car insurance. This would see drivers cover completely axed and would force them to secure a new policy from a specialist provider which would likely be more expensive. Meanwhile, nine percent of drivers mistakenly believe they will still have a valid insurance policy if they fail their test. Instead, failing an MOT will effectively cancel the insurance contract as drivers will be liable for costs.
