Mot

[General Baxter]

thinking about throwing 12months on the pug to sell it,
but

mot says

To preserve the anniversary of the expirey date the earliest you can present your vehical for test is 22/04/2011


does this mean i cant put an mot on it ?

[autoworksnovasport]

earlyest you can do thatt is 22nd off this month giving you 13mnths mot

Yes, that date is just to keep it at the same date every year or some bollocks. Supposed to be a good thing for prospective buyers... :wtf: personally I'd rather buy a car with 12 months MOT

but id throw an extra £400 ontop for 12months Mot lol

[autoworksnovasport]

so you could charge £500 for 13 months

[mk1nova_rich]

You can't put 13 months on can you?! :wtf: what it means is if you MOTd it today (05/03/2011) then the new expiry date would be brought forward to the 05/03/12 instead of 22/04/12 which it would be if you MOTd it when the current MOT expires

mot runs out 21-05-2011

[mk1nova_rich]

thought you could MOT a car at any time?!

ive worked in mot stations go to your local station and ask if you can put 13 months on as you still have a month remaining and they will say "yes no problem when does it expire as it needs to be a month before"

Thanks for clearing that up then... so that means if you want to retain the 21/05 expiry date then you must do it after 22/04 .ie one month in advance, so you get this 13 months then....

But there is nothing to stop you MOTing now

[autoworksnovasport]

thats right dude but with it all being electronic now the tester will tell you you still have ** months left on you mot do you still want to do the test??

[blacknovagsi]

i work in an mot station and you can do it 1 month less a day before the run out date

LOL I was just saying to Craig yesterday we hadn't had an MOT thread for a while lol

You can MOT a car at any time to renew the 12 months. If you renew it within a month of the expiry, you keep the old renewal (so you can get a 13 month MOT). So if you MOT the car on Monday Baxter, your renewal next year will be 07/03/12.
