How long is my MOT certificate valid for?

An MOT is valid for one year.

To find out when your MOT expires, you can either:

  • Go online and use the .gov website to check your MOT history
  • Check the expiry date printed on the current MOT certificate

The .gov website also has a service that you can sign up to which sends you a reminder when your MOT is due.

Driving without a valid MOT can result in a fine of up to £1,000.

Can I get an MOT before it expires?

Yes, you are able to book in an MOT test up to one month (minus one day) before the date of your current MOT’s expiry.

For example: if your MOT is set to expire on the 26th February, the earliest you are able to book in a new MOT test while keeping the same renewal date for next year is 27th January.
