Why it matters
Three things the MOT can't tell you
- Money owed. A car on hire purchase or PCP belongs to the finance company until it's paid off, and they can take it back.
- Theft. A stolen car goes back to its owner or insurer, and you lose what you paid.
- Write-offs. A Category S or N car can be back on the road legally, but it's worth less and some insurers won't cover it.
