Cheap MOT Failure Cars For Sale From Private Sellers With Less Than 125,000 Miles

20 Cheap MOT Failure Cars For Sale From Private Sellers 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.

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

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.
