Our Tesla company car is next due its MOT at the end of Feb but my PCP agreement ends on Mar 1st (and am returning the car) so am a little worried if it fails and getting hold of any parts its might need with the car due back pretty much the next day.
Aside from that, they'll prob be another 8k miles added so the car will have more wear and tear and will be 4 years old with approx 70k miles and I'm 99% sure BCA will send someone to inspect/collect it and will go straight to auction.
I'm thinking of getting a fresh MOT next month so don't have the hassle of getting anything fixed that it may fail on in a very short space of time - but would getting a new MOT several months before its actually due be acceptable by the finance company while I keep putting miles on it?
It passed its last MOT with no advisories FWIW.

You can get an MOT one month before it runs out and preserve the MOT date effectively getting 13 months MOT. Or alternatively just don't drive it on the 1st of March.
Yeah understand that but can I get one several months early without issue?I know when buying used cars, a lot of dealers may give fresh MOT's months before the next one is actually due.
I'd get an early MOT on it if you want and feel it's less hassle.
If anyone else in future doesnt like the MOT due date that results in, they can have another one done any time they like.
I assume there's no weird clause that if handed back at the end of the PCP term it must have minimum X months MOT if needed? Would be odd, but i suppose it's possible.

You can Mot any car anytime you wish, if it sits better with you then do it. Within 30 days of expiry will keep your original expiry date, before that you only get a new 12 month Mot.
This. Get the early MOT if it is more comfortable for you. Anyway, why do you think anything will come up?
