What PRS (passed after rectification) means for you

This describes a car that failed its MOT on dangerous or major defects, had them repaired, then passed a retest. Minor defects and advisories still pass, so they don't cause a fail. The fail is part of the car's history, so the earlier problems can be seen.

For a buyer, find out which defects caused the fail. Dangerous and major ones matter most, so ask the seller what was fixed and ask for receipts. Our free check shows the MOT history, including mileage at each test.
