       No not for 6 months

       Basically my neighbour has just realised they’ve been driving
       without an MOT for the last 6 months.
       I can’t believe they haven’t been caught as they regularly drive
       into London and around quite a bit.
       Are speed cameras and ULEZ not linked up to the dvla for MOT
       fines?

       No they're not.
       Driving without an MOT is a relatively trivial matter (£100
       penalty, no points) so probably not seen as a priority. It is
       also picked up automatically the next time VED is due.

       The evidence suggests not.

       Thanks they’ve booked it in for Monday so hopefully all good and
       no fines in the post

       You can always check an MoT online. What I find worrying is that
       these cars aren't checked from one year to the next. Do people
       not do a regular check on things like lights and tyres? Basic
       safety stuff. Once every 18 months isn't good enough.
