Cheap MOT Failure Cars For Sale In Chipping Ongar, Essex From Private Sellers
16 Cheap MOT Failure Cars For Sale In Chipping Ongar, Essex From Private Sellers
Searching for a cheap car without an MOT can save you money upfront, as these vehicles are usually priced significantly lower than those with a valid MOT certificate. Buying a "No MOT" car is ideal for mechanics, enthusiasts, or anyone planning repairs or restoration. However, it’s important to be aware that these cars haven't passed the mandatory safety and emissions tests, so they may require costly repairs or might not be roadworthy immediately. Always factor in potential repair costs and legal requirements before purchasing. Be sure to view the car in person and conduct a thorough inspection before making your decision.

This car has been parked in a garage for nearly 10 years. It belonged to my late father, who stored it after purchasing another vehicle that became his daily driver. The car still starts and runs, but the engine is currently hunting a bit. This could be due to an air leak or something similar, but I haven’t investigated further. Please note: The car has no MOT or tax, so it will need to be trailered away. It is not roadworthy for driving home. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a light project or restoration base. Sold strictly as seen – no reserve – it will go to the highest bidder. Please study the photos and ask any questions before bidding.

£350 View MoreNissan, MICRA, 1.4 Hatchback, 2002, Manual, 1348 (cc),5 doors
1.4 2002 4 door Micra. MOT expired in April. Has covered 98,351 miles. Located in mid Norfolk, between Norwich and Dereham. MOT failed on corroded OS rear area of sill, emissions (high CO) and NS track rod end. The MOT tester thought it might pass the emissions if it was a little hotter . The engine is running well and the car still drives nicely. The car has been very reliable the 6 1/2 years we've owned it. I've regularly started it since the MOT expired and moved it around my driveway. Other faults I'm aware of: NS rear area of the sill is also corroded, but didn't fail MOT The ignition key switch works, but has to be in the right position to start. The instrument panel light doesn't work. The front seats, especially the driver's, are in poor condition. Dent in front NS door. Paintwork in poor condition (see photos). Please message me if you'd like anymore information.

£1,095 View MoreFord Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost 2013 5dr - non runner
2013 FORD FIESTA 1.0 ECOBOOST 5DR NON RUNNER with a speedo reading of 108106 genuine miles. This car was brought in January 2023 in full working condition for £5000 with no indication of any problems or faults. I paid for the car to have a full check before final purchase. Again no problems. Money was paid by bank transfer so it has no outstanding finance or payments attached to it. The car has had full service history/mots until it refused to start one morning in January 2025. Approx 6 weeks prior to this, when the car was running, the oil pressure warning light was illuminating intermittently. We got it seen to straightaway and the wetbelt was found to be falling. This is a common fault with these engines, and due to the age of the car and position of the wetbelt, we were also advised to replace other parts, which were the sump oil pump, oil pump belt, water pump and water hose from header tank, other works included, an engine flush, belt debris cleaned from sump, plus new oil and oil filter supplied. We did this and paid just under £1500 for the works. When the car wouldn’t start in January 2025, the mechanic who completed the previous works took a look at it again. He performed some diagnostic tests and looked in the bonnet. He thinks that the head gasket needs replacing but as we’ve just pay out £1500 we don’t want to spend anymore on it. Overall, it’s been a good first car for our son. Due to work commitments, the car has remained on our drive since. Its mot has now run out.
