To determine when your MOT expires, you’ll need to check the date on your last MOT certificate or use a government/official MOT checker with your vehicle’s registration number. An MOT is valid for 12 months from the date of the test, and the expiry date is the date shown on the certificate. You can also check the MOT status online to confirm the exact expiry. Key steps to verify:
- Locate your current MOT certificate and read the expiry date.
- If you’ve misplaced the certificate, use an official MOT checker or contact the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) to confirm your vehicle’s MOT status.
- If you’re planning a test, note that you can book up to one month before the expiry date (and up to one day earlier than that window to keep the same renewal date in practice).
If you share your vehicle’s registration number and the date of your last MOT, I can help you calculate the exact expiry date and the earliest you can book the next test. [web results]
