New rules around MOT tests will be rolled out for drivers across the UK from next week, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has confirmed. Carrying out a ghost MOT can see the tester banned for life, and possibly be prosecuted for fraud. Andy Turbefield, MOT expert and head of quality at Halfords, said in April: "Ghost MOTs are a clear example of rogue garages and MOT testers taking advantage of the system. This difficulty in spotting if a car has had a ghost MOT means the official figures likely only scratch the surface. The reality is that we may have already had accidents and deaths as a result of ghost MOTs and we simply don't know."
