Half of UK motorists are worried about paying to keep their vehicles roadworthy, new research has suggested.
In a survey carried out by Auto Trader, 51% of respondents said that they were worried about the cost of repairs found during MOT inspections.
Of the 3,000 motorists surveyed, 10% said they were delaying putting their car through an MOT until after its due date. And a further 7% said they were putting off paying their road tax.
Almost a third (32%) of respondents were holding off doing repairs to their vehicle, with 15% saying that these repairs were "quite major" and 5% "very major".
Autotrader said this could mean that there are nearly 11.5 million potentially dangerous vehicles on Britain's roads.
Matt Thompson, marketing director of Auto Trader, said: "It is extremely worrying that nearly half of all UK motorists are prepared to drive around in an un-roadworthy vehicle to try and save money during these difficult times."
