MOT in NI with mainland UK registered car
Discussion
Hi,
I've just moved over to my parents in Northern Ireland after finishing university in the UK.
My car has mainland UK plates and is just coming up to 3 years old.
I've had a MOT reminder sent to book a MOT as the car is due for its first test at the end of the month and when booking for a test at one of the test centres over here it said my car isn't due one for another year as Northern Ireland's system is 4 years from new instead of 3.
I will only be here temporarily, hopefully only for the next 6 months whilst I save money to move back to England, so what happens when I take my car back to England between the 3rd / 4th year where I haven't done my MOT due to the car being in NI?
Also another quick question, my cars registered address is in NI but I still have UK plates, is there something I need to do to register the car in NI or do I not need to bother?
Many thanks in advance for your help!

DVLA all cover everything...
But if the car is registered to an address here ( NI with a V5 (NI ) ), then it will not need an MOT until it is 4 years old.
If booking an MOT, waiting times here are around 4 weeks
What the actual registration on the car is doesnt really matter as it means little these days
