For years I have been taking my vehicles for tests a month before due date. If it passes then I get a 13 month MOT cert If it fails then I have a month to put things right before I’m off the road.
Now under the recent changes, if I attend a month early and it passes then I again still get a 13 month MOT cert. However if it fails then the my current cert (than I earnt 11 months ago) is automatically cancelled I have no mot and therefore no insurance cover. I’m off the road.
Seems a backward step.
Best to either go on the day its due or do what I’m going to do and pay for a pre MOT inspection. More expense….

Quite annoying when you only find out afterwards

They won't pay for an accident but would for theft.
