This year, the AA sent me a letter saying my MOT was due in a few weeks, and trying to sell me some sort of product/service that would ensure it got through. 

Can't remember the details, as it cost money, and I therefore binned the letter before reading all the way to the end. :) :) :)

How did they know?  :(

having said all of this... the mot is only good the day it is done and the car could be defective for the other 11 months and 3 weeks so the £60 fine sounds right to me.

As far as I can see, you could have it done today, there are lots of places that do it while you wait. So, you are choosing to break the law and, as such, should be banned. :y

Modern MOTs have a peel off sticker that you are supposed to stick somewhere as a reminder.

Obviously, designed by a civil servant, so the stickiness goes after a few months, and the sticker falls off...

And you can't make out the date because it's scrawled in crayon.
