The test shows on the MOT history as ‘failed’ but still shows the MOT expiry as the original date.I think it will soon show the failed test? A failed test is recorded like any other, i.e. the DVLA will not wait until the fault is fixed and the car retested before adding the failed test to their database. The MOT test is an event that occurred, and will show on the DVLA system independently of any retest that may or may not occur at a later point of time. But this in itself doesn't mean that the car is illegal to drive... because as said the law is vague on this issue.
