When I was getting my paperwork togeather the other day in preperation for selling I couldn't find my current MOT. Thought nothing of it and as I knew it was going into VW I just thought I'd get a duplicate from them when they had the car..
Told the lady who was booking me in today, she goes off with my paperwork, comes back and said "there has not been a MOT issued to your car for 18 months" (6 months overdue) :surprised:
Needless to say its now getting done at VW :ashamed:
No wonder I couldn't find it :signLOL:

Haha, good showing mate.
I did about 3 months unwillingly, so you beat me.
Crazy how fast they creap up hey? I've always got into the practive of MOT and Tax at the same time so it's an expensive, but consistent time of the year :D

In 16 years of driving I've never even waited till the last week, never mind missing it by 6 months :signLOL:

Your lucky to get away with it especially with all the anpr cameras about now, my mate got tugged in his car the other day for his MOT being 3weeks out of date and got a £120 fine and nearly had the car taken off him (got recovery home)

Do that every year and you will save a few quids. :signLOL:

I use the Shell app on my phone for all my motoring reminders now.

A mate of mine who works in the car dealer went 10 months without an mot :signLOL: they should tell you like they do with the tax

I'm quite lucky in that mine is due when my service is due - so I always know to book it in for both.
I assume had you had to make an insurance claim you'd have problems without a current MOT certificate?

Yes Andrew, technicaly, I wasn't insured too :ashamed:

Eee, baaaaad lad!

My MOT is due at the same time as the tax so I can't miss it...well unless I miss both.
