SHOCKING new findings show that a third of motorists have driven a car knowing it has no MOT.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders surveyed 1,000 UK motorists and found that, of those that have driven a car without a valid MOT, 67 per cent admitted driving for up to a week before the retest and 24 per cent for up to a month. By driving without an MOT, motorists risk fines of up to £1,000, as well as potentially invalidating their motor insurance.
