To find out when your MOT is due, you can:
- Check your vehicle's MOT test certificate where the expiry date is clearly printed.
- Use an online MOT checker tool by entering your vehicle's registration number to get the MOT due date instantly.
- Visit the official UK government website (GOV.UK) MOT status service where you only need your vehicle registration number.
- Check your previous MOT expiry date, because the MOT is usually due one year after the last certificate expiry, but you can test your vehicle up to one month (minus a day) before the due date to keep the same renewal date.
- You can also use apps like myRAC or services like Kwik Fit's MOT checker or sign up for reminder texts.
Driving without a valid MOT is illegal and can incur fines and insurance issues, so it's important to keep track of the due date.
