You can book an MOT up to a month (minus a day) before your current certificate runs out and keep the same renewal
date, so booking ahead costs you nothing. Bring nothing but the car — the tester looks it up by registration.
If it fails, you're entitled to a free retest at the same station within 10 working days for most repairs.
Run through our pre-test checklist first: lights, tyres and
wipers alone cause a huge share of avoidable failures.
