If you lose your MOT certificate, is there a way you can find out when your current MOT expires? I know mine is coming up. Do you need the old one present to pass a new one?
thanks

Nope! If you can remmember the garage thay can even print you a new one off!!
-
Is that "nope" you cant get one, or "nope" you dont need your old one? I didnt own my car for its last MOT so that wont be easy ....
-
oh! Ok sorry Dude!!! Err nope you dont need one for your next MOT!! but if you dont know the garage im not sure how you can chack the date?? There may be a way as the system is computerised these days but never had to do it!! :smiley:

go on vosa's website! enter the v5 doc num and reg etc and says when it expires and also shows backdated mots history that can be printed out all the detail back to 2006 for free!. I bought a car at auction without a cert and luckerly had 6 months mot. I just bought on eof google search of some compnay and paid £12 and enter make of car reg and doc num and sent one out next day its that simple mate. I thought would be a load of hassle.

http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/ :afro:
That's how I found out my brake pipes had been changed the MOT before I got my car :smiley:

How did you manage to lose that? I put all my history and receipts in a lever arch file dont lose anyhting that way. :smiley:

It is so annoying. I have everything in a folder including every mot, every tax disc, and the oringinal invoice for the car from a dealers! (£7325)
some how i have lost it when i taxed the car last time. Its killing me.
Really struggling with those websites. I put in my details for the MOT i had, and it says there are MOTs outstanding, but doesnt say when they expire

I would have thought that means u havent got a mot it expired? does it show the history of you mots?
-
dont say that! from memory i think it expires in december.
Yeah most of it, if you mean the work thats been done anyway, its a well interesting read.
-
if i remember from my MOTing day's you can call into any MOT station and they will do you a replacment copy , you don't need them any more though as it is all computerised (apart from for your record's)
-
so MOT garages have access to access to the details every Mot'd car?
That would be awesome, not got long to get to the bottom of this
-
only if you have full vin and reg number BUT not full detail's :grin: :grin:
-
vin will be on the log book yeah? I definately have the registration !
-
Why don't you just put your car in for a new MOT? You said you think it expires in December anyway. :smiley:
-
i work in a mot station and if you go to any m.o.t station give them the reg they can print of a duplicate copy which would cost proberly 10 or 15 quid if it still has an m.ot as they are all linked together noww they are computerised, we get a lot of customers who lose there certificates!
-
Ah cheers, thats helpful.
the reason is, I am at uni in sheffield, but i want to get it MOT'd at particular garage in Northampton, and i need to plan when i can go home next, juggling uni commitments.
-
get in, it passed with no problems
