A van in poor condition with multiple 'major defects' was spotted driving around a Merseyside area by eagled eyed officers.
Officers from the Roads Policing unit confirmed they stopped a van in for an expired MOT on Saturday morning.
However, despite being tested on January 14 and enquiries revealing it had failed for a staggering 14 major defects - this did not stop the driver.
