I hear the police are actually doing people for having wheels come off nowdays… That would kinda be an extreme example of driving a vehicle that’s an MOT fail.
As was said above though - The MOT certificate only proves it was roadworthy at the moment of issue. You could damage the car on the way home from the garage, render it an MOT failure - and continue to drive it without anyone being awares other than yourself. Cracked springs, nail right through tyre, detached fuel tank - that kind of thing.
If a wheel comes off they can only do you if it can be found as a few years ago a wheel come off our trailer and wrote off an ■■■■■■ van we didn’t get done as the wheel could not be found
story and video made news at ten

Could plod not work if there was a difference in how many wheels was on one side of the truck to the other ?
You should be picking up on these things in your morning walk round

If it wrote off the van - how did they know what had written off the van if the wheel wasn’t found? 
If any body on here knows who the driver of the truck was/ is then colleagues of mine would like to discuss the footage with him,if you tell him to call 101 and just quote road rage incident Jnc 17 to 18 M62.
