Britannia AuctionsWhat if a vehicle has no MOT or is not running?
It can still be sold. Non runners and vehicles without a current MOT are catalogued as they stand, with the fault described as you report it and photographs to match. Buyers need to collect by transporter or on trade plates, which we make clear in the catalogue. On a vehicle that is otherwise sound, an MOT before the sale removes one question for the buyer and the test costs little.
