Default Can I get my car Mot'd anytime?

Hey all,

I'm planning on selling my 01 WRX but the MOT is due on 16th June.

I'd rather get it MOT'd first, but my local garage reckon you can only do an MOT within one month of expiry of the last one. They seem to think that's a recent change.

Do you reckon they're right or can you get your car MOT'd anytime?

cheers

you can take your car for a retest at any time it will then have a new 12month ticket, your garage are not very clued up.

about halfway down the page

When you can MOT your vehicle

You can renew your MOT up to one month before it expires without affecting your annual expiry date. You can find out when the earliest date to MOT your vehicle is by checking the front of the pass certificate.

You can present your car for an MOT aytime...........it's the expiry date that isn't changed if you fall within the "one month prior to expiry" window.
