While MOT tests are carried out at 23,000 accredited garages nationwide, this fraudulent practice has emerged as a serious concern. A ghost MOT occurs when a garage issues a valid-looking MOT certificate without performing the required safety checks. Rogue operators profit by charging fees but skip the essential inspections, leaving unsafe vehicles on the road.
