Yippee, straight through MOT!
I decided to take my recently purchased ZT-T for an mot today, although the current one didn't run out until next January I figured I'd be skint from xmas then, plus if it failed I could be crawling about in 6 inches of snow trying to fix it.
She went straight through with no advisories . And it gave me the oportunity to have a good look underneath while it was up on the ramps. Yippee! |

No, not impossible or dodgy. I've just lost the last 3 months of the old mot, it can only be post-dated for up to 1 month.
My new mot runs out 1 year from now not the expiry of the old ticket. |

i was under the impression a car could be submitted at anytime for a MOT test,if the car sill had a current certificate the new certificate would be granted with an extra month.
when used vehicles are purchased they are sold with twelve months MOT regardless to what the expiry date was on the previous certificate. |

Yes, sometimes it's worth losing that 2 or 3 months mot to bring the expiry date to a more convenient time.
