How much can you trust your MOT? In a special scams episode, Gloria Hunniford, Julia Somerville and Louise Minchin investigate the so-called ‘ghost’ MOTs available for sale – and hear from the mum whose second-hand car was far from roadworthy. The team reveal what happened when they tried to buy fake MOTs online. And the advice clinic heads to Reading to help the man who paid more than £200 for gift cards as Christmas presents for his family but discovered most of them had already been redeemed. The team’s research reveals which gift cards are most susceptible to being spent by scammers before customers have had a chance to use them.
