Cheap 30+ MPG MOT Failure Cars For Sale With Less Than 125,000 Miles

21 Cheap 30+ MPG MOT Failure Cars For Sale With Less Than 125,000 Miles 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.

Air Conditioning; Alarm; Alloy Wheels; Central Locking; Electric Windows; Immobiliser; Safety Belt Pretensioners About us: Our site at Canterbury Road East in Ramsgate, was first established in 1936 when the then owner Charlie Philpott, built a garage specialising in the sales and servicing of motorbikes. The business ran successfully until the outbreak of World War II when the site was requisitioned by the army and returned to commercial use at the end of hostilities. Built in the fashionable Art Deco style of the time, the original building was single storey, with the upper floor and extra workshop space being added as the business prospered. Philpotts Garage continued into the 1960's when the site became a petrol station - the canopy is still in place. Then in the 1980's, the site reverted back to sales and serving, operating as V-Wise - a German car specialist. Then finally as The German Car Centre before Pierremonts bought the site in 2006. Pierremonts was established in 1988 as a family-owned business in Broadstairs offering servicing, mot's, car and van hire and a selection of used cars for sale. In 2006 we moved to larger premises at our current site in Ramsgate allowing us to double the size of our used car forecourt and increase the number of workshop ramps from two to six along with state-of-the art diagnostic equipment, a computerised rolling road and a dedicated mot testing area. Whilst we have expanded over the years, our aims have remained the same as the day we started - to provide a personal and professional service at a sensible price for all your motoring needs, so give us a call or come in and see us - you can be assured of a warm welcome. Warranty: Pierremonts are proud of our long association with the RAC. As an approved business, we repair all makes and models brought to us by their recovery vehicles and also supply a 3 month RAC warranty with all of our retail stock. On vehicles up to 10 years old a top-of-the range Platinum warranty is included along with 12 months complimentary roadside assistance cover, and on vehicles from 10 to 15 years old, RAC’s Gold warranty is supplied. We also offer the opportunity to extend your warranty to a full year which also comes with an upgrade from the standard £1000 limit per claim to the value of the car per claim and again, includes complimentary roadside assistance cover and a big saving on the normal retail cost. You will also have the opportunity to renew your warranty on expiry and the best thing about an RAC warranty, is that they are nationally recognised by over 600 RAC approved dealers like ourselves, so you are never faraway from help, should the need arise. Opening Hours: Mo: 09:00 AM to 05:30 PM Tu: 09:00 AM to 05:30 PM We: 09:00 AM to 05:30 PM Th: 09:00 AM to 05:30 PM Fr: 09:00 AM to 05:30 PM Sa: 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM Su: Closed Why buy from us? * We are an established business and have served the people of Thanet for 35 years. * Pre-sales safety checks, a service and a minimum of 6 months mot with every car. * 3 months RAC warranty and 12 months complimentary roadside assistance cover included. * Competitive finance subject to status * Friendly staff with no pressure selling.
