Thanks!

Assuming it passed, you'd end up with a 13 month ticket from the date you took it in.

Not quite  the earliest you can take a car in to preserve the expiry date is 30 days before. Any earlier you lose the extra.

Exactly what I said. You take a car in for MOT that already has 2 months ticket & you end up with a 13 month MOT .... a year fro the MOT plus 1 of the months you took it early! = 13 months. 

I would have to check, but I think these new MOT's give you a date that is the earliest you can take it in, ie a month before it is due..... :-/ :-/

It does, but that's so it will expire on same date as your existing MOT but for a year on. If your MOT has more than a month to go & you present your car for MOT you will end up with a 13 month ticket. That bit has never needed to change.

Sounds about right..   Got another car for MOT at the end of the month, Master Vamps Saxo, and it needs taxing in November, good job he is the nice stepson.....

If you take it in more than a month early you'll get a 12 month ticket, exactly the same as it always should have been done but some stations used to bend the rules

Best bet is to take it no more than 1 complete calendar month and it'll preserve the expiry date

It's a Jag.

It's gonna fail......  

[Kate]

Yeah it's definitely going fail as it needs welding.  I just need to know how much work it's going to need. If it needs loads I'll have to get rid of it.

under computerised mot an mot can be carried out at any time on a vehicle and if fails then the old mot is still valid .
if a vehicle is presented for  test within 1 month before old mot expires and meets current minimum standards then a new ticket is issued for a period of 12 months from the expiry date of old mot .
mot testing stations have no seizure powers to impound any vehicle regardless of condition .

and yes sometimes i wish they could when you fail a car with 3 illegal tyres 2 with steel showing just for the owner to say he has 3 weeks mot left so will get it done then leaves the building puts 2 kids in back of car then drives off in the rain
