Fake MOTs on the Rise | Leeds News

The government’s cracking down on fake MOTs with new photo rules requiring garages to snap pics of your car on the ramp—making sure license plates are visible to stop “ghost MOTs” where shady shops hand out certificates without inspecting your vehicle. These fakes can leave you driving unsafe cars, risking expensive repairs, insurance problems, and fines. Experts warn: if you get a certificate without your car being tested, if they promise a guaranteed pass, or if your MOT doesn’t show up online, it’s a red flag. Also, suspiciously fast inspections, cash-only deals, or missing paperwork are major warning signs. While most garages are legit, these new rules aim to expose the bad actors. Always verify your MOT online and never trust a “guaranteed pass”—if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
