Yes I've thought about that situation myself.
So can you ever take the car away from the test station if it fails?
Got this from the comments on the article:
According to the government's own website for "Driving a vehicle that’s failed":
You can take your vehicle away if your MOT certificate is still valid.
I think the point is that your old MOT certificate isn't valid anymore as the new failed MOT certificate supersedes it.
.....and people are worried about potentially breaking the law because you had the presence of mind to get it checked early! ...........(
The pass cert should last 12 months and the new fail should 'kick-in' after that date.
