Askari Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Back in June I taxed my celica, which failed an MOT about a month earlier, using an MOT certificate from October last year. No problem. I hasten also to add that after the failed MOT I immediately repaired those things that the car failed on, but I did not take it back for another MOT. No need said DVLA you have a valid MOT from October and you're telling us your vehicle is roadworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorris Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Back in June I taxed my celica, which failed an MOT about a month earlier, using an MOT certificate from October last year.

No need said DVLA you have a valid MOT from October and you're telling us your vehicle is roadworthy. Was that through a post office? But when you put a car through an MOT everything gets put onto the data base but seems odd that DVLA would just take your word for it but then again I believe what DVLA say as they never make mistakes The only thing I can think of is, if you do have a current valid MOT then DVLA will ignore the new results but how will that stand with the police and insurance I wonder?

skatz114 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Does the mot certificate not say " to preserve the date on this certificate, you cannot present the vehicle for a test before....." I think it's 30 days prior to that one expiring. If you test the car before that date, does it not invalidate the current one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Chris_ Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 The 25 quid won't be deducted from the MOT fee though, so it'll cost you £65 total. Retests are normally free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
