Title: how can you find out if a car has an MOT
Post by: JC on 30 June 2011, 22:41: right then, i am just about to break every car buying rule :laugh: :grin:

Its got no paperwork, no V5 ( repo ) so I will be covered when re applying

But with no logbook and mot certificate, how can I find out if its got any MOT left on it with only the reg number

Thanks

Post by: The Mighty Elvi on 01 July 2011, 18:39: Shot in the dark, but try applying for car tax online. This should tell you if it has a valid MOT.
