I find that it is much easier to obtain a new MOT in the period up to one calendar month (less a day) before the MOT actually runs out
- if you produce the old certificate the new MOT runs from the original expiry date no matter how early it is done.
From the DVLA website :
"..............Earliest date you can get an MOT
An MOT lasts for a year. The date it runs out is printed on the last pass certificate.
You can get an MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date.
Example
If your MOT runs out on 15 May, the earliest you can get an MOT to keep the same renewal date for next year is 16 April........"
There is no need to wait to have it done on (or after) the expiry date - just get it done on a convenient day during the allowable period before the actual expiry date!
