This is true although on any checks like anpr it will show the latest result as a failed mot. Technically you have an mot and that can’t be removed but you then have the argument that you are driving a vehicle knowingly with a defect. If the defect that has been repaired and you haven’t had a retest I'm not sure how you would stand, I wouldn’t like to take the chance

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle
