If the vehicle is MOT tested within the calendar month prior to when the MOT is due, the MOT test certificate will run from the date of the test to one year after the expiry date of the current certificate. For example, if the current MOT certificate was due to expire on 1 April 2007, and the vehicle was presented on or after 2 March 2007, the new MOT certificate would run from the test date until 1 April 2008.
The same rule would also apply when the vehicle is taken in within a calendar month of its first MOT. In this case, the vehicle owner would need to present their registration document.If the vehicle is tested earlier than one month before its MOT due date, the MOT will only run for twelve months.
Your MOT certificate confirms that your vehicle, at the time of its MOT test, (as far as can be reasonably determined without dismantling) met the minimum acceptable environmental and road safety standards required by law. It doesn’t mean that the vehicle is roadworthy for the life of the MOT certificate and isn’t a substitute for regular maintenance.
The way information is held about MOT tests has changed. Records of MOT test results are now held on a secure central database. This change has not affected your actual MOT test but it has affected the way you check the MOT history. All MOT testing stations have been connected to this central database. When your vehicle is MOT tested at one of these ’computerised’ MOT testing stations your MOT test record will be entered onto this new database and you will receive a new style (A4 in size) MOT certificate.
The new MOT certificate is your receipt for the MOT test. It shows the information that is held on the MOT database. The MOT certificate is no longer proof of an MOT and should not be relied on as such. Only the computer record can prove a vehicle has a valid MOT. Under the new system any recommended advisory work will normally be shown on a new Advisory Notice which will be given to you at the time of the MOT test.
Why do you need an MOT certificate?
You should take your MOT Certificate with you when you apply for a new Vehicle Excise Licence (vehicle tax disc) at a Post Office. This is unless the vehicle is not subject to MOT testing because of its age or type. If you have a new (A4) MOT certificate you can choose to relicense your vehicle online.
Police officers are also entitled to ask for production of an MOT test certificate for a vehicle which is required to have one.
A MOT test certificate relates only to the condition of testable items at the time of the MOT test and should not be regarded as:
If you have lost or damaged your MOT Test Certificate, you can obtain a duplicate from any MOT Testing Station by providing: the Vehicle Registration Mark; and either the original MOT Test Number or Document Reference Number (shown on the V5C Registration Certificate issued by the DVLA).
The maximum fee for a Duplicate mot certificate for a car is £10.00.
