How early can I get an MOT?

In many cases, you can have an MOT test carried out before the current MOT expires while keeping the same annual renewal date. The exact timing can depend on the vehicle's current MOT expiry date.

What if my MOT has expired?

If the MOT has expired, the vehicle may not be legal to drive on public roads unless a specific exception applies. Check your MOT status before driving and arrange a test as soon as possible if needed.

Why check your MOT due date?

Checking the expiry date in advance gives you time to arrange a test, plan any repairs and avoid accidentally letting the MOT expire.
