Mot done today straight thru no problems
Footnote:Must remember it runs out 01/12/2015 in other words it had run out 1st September and I'd forgot all about it SWMBO wasn't impressed,the only reason I found it wasn't motd was I was getting a figure for px and the dealer told me it wasn't tested

Re: Mot sorted
Well done on that....
The big question is..
Has anyone actually MOT'd their car in time????
I know many that haven't managed it, myself included, but only missed it by 4 days when i realised

If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....

I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)

Re: Mot sorted
I don't get it. I have never missed/forgotten/been late with an MOT in the nearly forty years I have been driving. Don't you folks keep track of that sort of thing?
Given the consequences of a collision (even if you were not at fault) under those circumstances, your insurer could choose to walk away and you may well face prosecution with a fine of up to £1k.
Maybe it's just me but I know my MOT, VED, Insurance AND Licence expiry dates.

Re: Mot sorted
When I was in business my cars were changed before MOT was due so never a problem. My wifes car is another issue forgot that several times over the years. The last 4 years the BMW specialist I found sends a timely reminder for annual service/MOT, good for his business and avoids a headache for me. He now gets her Outback to service as well.
Makes me think why more garages dont do it?

Re: Mot sorted
The current BMWs now have it on the iDrive too. My local BMW Dealer does issue reminders via email - but of course they need your email address.
