I'm sure it's the point, at least.
Well, that's why I think I'm right. Since the DVLA could not possibly know whether you've repaired your car or not, I see no reason for the note to be pbutted back to the DVLA (for the purposes of marking your car as unroadworthy on some database, at least).
Despite searching for a while, I can't find any reason to belive that your car being declared unroadworthy after failing an MOT is any different to you noticing your own car is unroadworthy at any other time (i.e. if you fix it, it is no longer unroadworthy and can be driven legally).
You're always going to want it tested in the next 12-13 months. If you test it the month before the MOT is due, there's a whole month until you need to get it re-tested after it fails. In which time, you could make the car roadworthy, and continue to drive it.
train or carWell, after being firm supporter of the railways, but a pbuttenger seat petrol head, I finally gave in and pbutted my test 4 years ago. Why? Because I was sick of commuting and sharing...
That could not prevent re-taxing. There is only a legal requirement to have a valid (i.e. not-expired and authentic) MOT certificate. There is no requirement for the vehicle to be roadworthy to obtain a tax disk.
