United Kingdom · Periodic inspection
When is the MOT due in the UK?
The MOT is due 3 years after the car was first registered, and every year after that.
You can take the MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date. In Northern Ireland the first test is at 4 years.
These are the rules for private cars. Taxis, vans, motorcycles, classic and imported cars often differ, and the inspection authority has the final word.
Let DriveKeeper remember it.
It tells you a month before the inspection — and keeps track of the oil, the tyres and the insurance, by how much you actually drive.
The app is free. Being told is €9, once.
