Checking Your Vehicle's MOT Expiry Date
To ascertain when your vehicle's MOT (Ministry of Transport test) is set to expire, you can conveniently utilize the government's online tool for checking MOT status. Follow these steps to find out:
- Navigate to the Government's MOT Status Website: Access the official UK government site dedicated to MOT status at Check MOT
- Submit Your Vehicle's Registration Number: Input your vehicle's registration number (also known as the number plate) into the provided field.
- Review Your MOT Status: After submitting your registration number, the website will reveal your vehicle's MOT status, including the expiry date of your current MOT certificate.
