Got to take my car for its MOT tomorrow.

No you don't. It's all computerised now, so if you mot is within 30 days of running out, it'll start from that date.

[GimleyUK]

Sure because everyone I have asked says you still need it ???

[Shaw Tarse]

When does current certificate run out?

[x type]

Definitely don't need it

I didn't take mine last week , no problems at all, New mot runs out 13th April 2011

you only need it if you want the new certificate to start from the expiry date of the current one (if within 30 days) - otherwise its not needed and the new cert will simply start from the day of pass.

You definitely don't need it and if you still have time left on the old one the computer will automatically allow for it on the new one.

Nope. All records are computerised so the new MoT will always run for 12 months from expiry of the old (so long as 11 months since last test).
