No MOT
Thinking out loud what would happen if the following were true
Used my Moms car last friday to go to London and today found out today that the car has no MOT (she knew I was using the car and thought it had been moted at the garage last week, but they only fixed the fuel problem on the car and didn't mot it like they were asked. My sister picked the car up without knowing what we had asked to be done.)
Went into the center so i paid the congestion charge on the net.
My question is will the congestion charge people know the car had no MOT an if what can i expect fine or points?
Car is now off the road and i will be phoning the garage first thing in the morning

Hmm, the 255 mile round trip is an issue. You could of course have been staying near London, therefore took it to a garage there. It will be pushing it though

Ultimately a court summons for the driver, then 3 points and a fine.
If you decide to blaim everybody else apart from yourself then they may get in trouble also.(your mum and sister)
If you have paid the congestion charge I can't see any proceedings though.

why a fine ???
No mot carries only a fine up to 1000 in extreme circumstances ?
normally a 45 instant payment or 90 after 14 days,
however it could be argues as car wasnt fit for road use, insurance is invalid and you could face 6-12 points for this,

an mot is only valid in the mot testing station. Its a government way of more money from motorists. As soon as you leave the mot testing station, you could hit a pot hole damaging suspension and be damaged in a way so that it isnt fit for road use
