Cheap MOT Failure Petrol Cars For Sale From Private Sellers
25 Cheap MOT Failure Petrol Cars For Sale From Private Sellers in the UK
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.

Hi I’ve got here for sale a Mini Cooper, NOT an S, approx 112k, NO MOT, not sure what it’s gonna need but runs good, alloy wheels, electric windows, electric sunroof, new clutch 3k ago, tyres all look good and above the limit, lad upgraded the door speakers and put some led lights in the car that was as far as he got, now he’s decided he does want to drive. Just trying to sell it on now, as can be seen in the pics it’s not the prettiest of cars and does need a little tlc bodywork wise, but nothing to major that can’t be repaired, does require a new boot lid as seen by the pic with duct tape covering a hole, this is how it came from previous owner and a job on the lads to do list for his big plans 🤣, and the front bumper is mainly held on with zip ties, again this is how he got it from previous owner, there is a fault with the left hand indicator blinking quicker than the right, and a brake pad wear limit light is on she’s pretty sweet. Time to get it moved on to somebody who’s willing to put a bit of time into the old girl. I’m looking for £350 ovno so please sensible offers only. Thank you for reading the ad

£500 View MoreAudi D2 A8s 4.2 Quattro
First generation Audi A8 4.2 Quattro Sport in Black with grey leather interior. Mechanically good condition. However, there is an oil leak coming from the front of the engine somewhere that isn't bad enough to be an MOT fail but should really be repaired. Under gentle driving only the smallest oil drop seeps out but at extended high engine revs the leak is enough to drop oil onto the exhaust and cause smoke. It's not a difficult job for a home mechanic type person with tools/equipment but, would be costly due to the hours of labour required if taken to a garage for repair. I have personally serviced/repaired the car during the many years I have owned it, replacing the cambelt etc recently, but it's no longer possible for me to maintain the car so I'm selling it at a low price to help the new owner offset costs involved with repairing the oil leak. Electrically all the toys worked until recently when cruise control stopped working. That is likely to be just a dirty connection to one of the sensors involved. The bodywork is ok and can look really nice but there are few little dinks from car parking and some areas where the paint laquer is failing. The front bumper is cracking apart. I do have a replacement bumper, in silver at the moment, that will be included with the car. There's also included an expensive proffesional leather re-colour kit from the states, to bring the interior back up to spec. The car really is a joy to drive. It's supremely comfortable and effortles. I get 40MPG on long gentle motorway journeys. It will however quickly drop to 15MPG in stop start traffic or when pressing the loud pedal hard! The V8 sound is phenominal and hard to resist sometimes. I am selling the car reluctantly and only because my circumstances have changed making it impossible for me to personally maintain it.

This wee car has a great engine in her and such a low mileage for her age. Her body work has a few bumps but she starts every time. I have bought a new car and hope that someone will buy this one and run her for another few years. Price reflects her body work but will accept an offer. NO MOT & on SORN at the moment.

1988 Pre facelift 190e 2.0. This car is a project, it is a very clean with the exception of the N/S quater panel having a hole in the top of it by the vent and both front wings having the usual rust above the bumper. The underside of the car is in very good condition and I have photos to prove so. The car has over £1000 of brand new suspension on it all rear arms Bilstein shocks all round and Eibach lowering springs. The engine will want replacing due it it tapping and breathing heavy the gear box is in good working order. The interior is missing door cards, seats are in good condition and the dash top has no cracks. The car starts and drives but will need to be trailered away as it has no MOT. I have stacks of spares with this car and a full manual conversion for it which I will sell separate to the sale of the vehicle. Any questions shoot me a message as I have too much info to list in this listing.
