You can always check an MoT online. What I find worrying is that these cars aren't checked from one year to the next. Do people not do a regular check on things like lights and tyres? Basic safety stuff. Once every 18 months isn't good enough.

Thanks they’ve booked it in for Monday so hopefully all good and no fines in the post

Basically my neighbour has just realised they’ve been driving without an MOT for the last 6 months.

I can’t believe they haven’t been caught as they regularly drive into London and around quite a bit. 

Are speed cameras and ULEZ not linked up to the dvla for MOT fines?

No they're not.

Driving without an MOT is a relatively trivial matter (£100 penalty, no points) so probably not seen as a priority. It is also picked up automatically the next time VED is due.
