New data from automotive experts at Halfords shows that four in ten UK motorists say that they are concerned about affording their next MOT test and subsequent repairs.
Among those who participated in the survey itself, some 45 per cent say that even if they will not be able to afford their next MOT, they still plan on continuing driving their vehicle regardless of what the law says.
In addition to this, 17 per cent of drivers - which equates to millions of motorists - admit that they have previously already driven a car without a valid certificate of MOT in the last 12 months.
