My current car (an older polluting diesel) is going to be scrapped in return for a significant discount on a new car. However in prep for the MoT in a couple of days I took my current car to Halfirds today get it ready. I thought it just needed a new headlamp but they couldn't get it to work (it's not a bulb or fuse issue so is likely to be a wiring job.) So the car will fail the MoT and it's going to cost me a lot to get it into a state whereby I can drive it to the showroom in about three weeks just to have it scrapped. It seems a totally pointless waste of money. Does anyone know what the rules are about valid MoTs and scrappage scheme cars?
