@classybeauties: Neil John Lewis, 47, has pleaded guilty at Cardiff Magistrates' Court to fraud by false representation after admitting he issued a fraudulent, passing MOT certificate for a dangerous Volkswagen Tiguan that later crashed on the A48 in St Mellons, resulting in the tragic deaths of three young people. The rogue mechanic, who acknowledged the vehicle had severe faults but passed it anyway, has been remanded on bail and is scheduled to be sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court on 19 August 2026. #NeilJohnLewis #FakeMOT #StMellonsCrash #CardiffCourts #WalesNews
Absolutely ridiculous that anyone else apart from the driver is being blamed here ! He was drunk and off his head on drugs as well driving like a lunatic!

Mot didn’t cause the crash faulty airbag and seatbelt light would not have caused the car to swerve off the road the police just want someone to blame so that they don’t look bad for taking so long to find them

the group had been drinking alcohol and inhaling nitrous oxide (laughing gas) prior to the collision.and no valid insurance.

If the airbag light wasn’t present at the time of the mot it’s not a fail. The amount of folk that use a cheap obd to cancel lights prior to a test is common. This is the scenario here by looks of it

All that should happen is he should lose his MOT license. The crash is ALL DOWN TO THE DRIVER. THE FACT THAT THEY WENT UNDISCOVERED IS JUST UNFORTUNATE 🙄

yes the mot tester pasted a faulty car. the owner did nothing to then fix it. and the faults had nothing to do with the reckless driver. Remember cars didn't have air bags some years ago.

passing a car that failed on a probable sensor and telling the owner to sort it is harsh on the MOT guy if he gets severe punishment. he shouldn't have done it but its minor tbf. it's not steering, brakes or structural. I'm all for sending cowboy garages to hell for some of the passed cars I've had. but a sensor and being told about it would be great. I've bought some full mot cars that are un road worthy. I'm talking wheel bearings, warped disks, low pads no wiper rubber, bushes, handbrake not grabbing. some things you don't look for or expect, even experienced buyers. to sum up, drivers fault 100% even if he knew nothing about it, he was drunk and off his head

Because the airbag light is on the seat belt will still operate as normal..the airbag warning light means there is a fault with the system..

I’m in the car trade, most repaired cars have a lot of dodgy repairs and most of them do end up with a dodgy MOT, do not ever buy a cat C car

So the driver did nothing to fix the car? I know what he did was wrong but it’s the drivers responsibility

unfortunately an mot certificate was issued when it shouldnt have. when death is involved this is a warning over fraud. the text message confirmed that. a warning over what happens

so nothing to do with how the fella was driving then 🤦. likely driving so fast that even at the point of impact the airbags wouldn't have saved them . if the airbag wasn't on at the point of MOT then it's not a fail. it does sound like it may have been though and the owner was told to repair it . he already had a couple of weeks to get it sorted .

I think theres a lot of fake MOTs out there - when you look at the state of some cars being used daily.
