Your MOT is valid until its expiry date even if in the meantime your car fails the MOT - the original pass is still valid. In fact you can have the Test done up to a calendar month before the expiry date and have the new MOT forward-dated to the expiry date of the existing certificate. So if you have your car Tested during that month and it fails, this gives you time to have the repairs carried out and the car re-tested before the expiry of the original certificate and you are not disadvantaged as a result. - MOTT.

You may still be driving a unroadworthy vehicle, but that is up to you, this dosn't have much to do with the MOT. The MOT is only a reflection on the vehicle the day it passed the test, and is considered to be ok for the next year.

Unless the MOT place told you it was unsafe to use, then I don't see a problem using it till it expires.
