There are a number of ways to find out the renewal deadline for your vehicle’s MOT. The most straightforward is to simply check last year’s certificate, where you should find the information you need. But sometimes that may not be possible, for example if the documentation has gone missing. In that situation, a convenient way to check MOT status is by calling your local Bosch Car Service workshop and asking them to find out the date for you. All they will need is the vehicle’s registration. Having established the deadline, you can book the vehicle in for an MOT test there and then.
TIP: It is best not to leave the test date until the last minute, as there may be some reason why you have to cancel, and then you could find yourself without a valid MOT certificate, which is illegal. Fortunately, you can get your vehicle MOT tested up to one month early and still have the renewal start from the day after the deadline.
