the only car's i know without spares or a place for a spare is a mod'd car, and normally the MOT tester lets it slide...but if he asked you should really have one someplace

** edit..if i'm wrong sorry, just pretty sure ya'no

Dad's M3 didn't have a spare. 120d with run flats doesn't have a spare. Can fit non-runflats and still not need a spare.
