Car Take Back, Car scrappage

Drivers with MOT failures now have options…

Now that the government has announced the COVID-19 MOT extension will end earlier than planned on 31st July 2020, many drivers will now need to book their MOT Test.

With many cars now over their originally due date, if your car fails its MOT, knowing what to do for the best can be difficult. Especially if it’s an older vehicle, sometimes the cost of the repair is just too expensive.

By getting a no obligation, instant valuation for any vehicle at CarTakeBack.com, you can find out how much your car is worth and weigh up your options accordingly.

When stricter limits were brought in for emission control for any vehicles fitted with a Diesel Particular Filter, figures by the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), showed that MOT emissions test failures doubled in the first 6 months of this being introduced.
