How do you find out if a car is MOT'd ?

My old dear has lost her MOT certificate. She's sure it's up the end of next month.

Saving me taking it for a ticket now, is there any way that I can find out when it's due ?

What's the legal implications for her not have an MOT certificate, if anything happens (note car IS MOT'd).

Cheers.

Would your local MOT station be able to pull up the data base ?

There is one to allow taxing online ?

As above ^^^ for the test info.

You don't have to have the certificate anymore. Since the system was computerised the MOT is held on the VOSA data base and the "certificate" is only a copy to all intence and purpose. Hence the reduced security for blank forms.

Thechnically you should always have your documents available and I assume it would be considered an offence to not be able to produce them when asked.

Producers are rarely issued nowadays because they already know if your insured/mot'd/taxed/licensed

Theoretically it is but I think there's an agreement that if you keep the docs in the car then the thief could pull them out and be you. If it's up soon might as well just MOT it at the same place, they can give you 13 months if you take it in early
