Cheap 40+ MPG MOT Failure Cars For Sale From Private Sellers

25 Cheap 40+ MPG MOT Failure 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

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.
