Searching everywhere for my MOT certificate so I could Tax the Stag, no luck. Found the previous one which ran out last July.
Decided I had probably lost it in a drawer somewhere so tried applying on line
MOT not found it said........BO##OCKS
MOT now booked for next Wednesday, couldn't get in sooner
Must pay more attention!

You are in good (maybe bad?) company. The online tax disc thing is pretty good I think. Maybe Paddocks should get the same people to do their web site! Hope it passes.

Hang on to your old MOT Certificate, its the last one you'll be issued with. Apparently now all you get is a reciept.

No you get an A4 piece of paper that looks like a spotty 15 year old designed it. Easy to forge for the private buyer, but still rock solid if you do the checks.

I remember about a year ago my sister went to tax her car. It said the MOT had ran out. She had an invoice from the garage I used but no certificate (at the time of the MOT we were a little disgruntled about an oil change being done that did not need to be (it was done 2 months prior to the MOT) in addition to the brake pads being changed all round without being asked, so the all important green ticket became a distant memory). She did have an invoice so I went back up to the garage, where he gave the car a fresh MOT. She counted herself lucky for the 6 months she drove the car, sort of without an MOT!

Suffice to say, I check for documents twice over now on any car!

To assist us to keep track of our finances we use a programme called Microsoft Money. In addition to direct debits etc I also have the road tax and MOT dates for each of the cars set up as events. Certainly helps as a reminder that they are coming for renewal. Regards Bruce
