Insuranceman Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 My car is due it’s first MOT in October but I haven’t had a reminder. Can i book an MOT without the reminder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Carrot Steve Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 You can actually book and take an mot any time you like even if you have 11 months still on your old one. No point of course but AFAIK there is no law or rule that says you can't. The main time I see people doing this is as part of a car sale arrangement, ie will be supplied with a full 12 month mot. Damned good idea in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get a reminder if either your garage lets you know or you sign up for the DVLA reminder service here - MOT reminder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Baker Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 If you want to preserve the date of the MOT and get the full year’s worth, then yes I think you can only book up to one month in advance, otherwise you’ll set a new due date and eat into the year period. But as @Flying Carrot Steve says, you can book an MOT at any time and it will be valid for a year 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
