MOT
Once a vehicle is three years old it must hold a valid MOT. If a car is being sold without an MOT it raises the question as to why the owner has not spent the £40 fee to keep the vehicle on the road. The advice would be to check over the vehicle more thoroughly before looking to purchase it as there may be mechanical faults which could prove costly. Always ask to see the MOT certificate before buying
