Can anyone help with this one.I,ve recently been in to DVLA to retain a number plate,after parting with £100 log book,tax disc and the MOT.They said leave it with us and we,ll post everything to you.Great ,I thought.Today however,I received my retention cert,new V5 but no MOT.Should the MOT come with the V5 or is it coming from a different department?I,m a little worried as I need tax soon and I,m stumped with an MOT cert.Any advice from the PH massive?

Tax it online -> MOT cert irrelevant.

If it doesn't come back you can order a new copy in case the DVLA have lost it - presumably you could claim the cost back from them? If you're brave enough to fight the bureaucracy of course!

MoT cert and new tax disc (if not expired) should have arrived before retention cert and V5.

You don't need the paper, as long as it has current MOT DVLA will know
