Under normal circumstances, how long does a valid MOT certificate last?

Explanation: MOT test certificates stay valid for 12 months. As it's not feasible to guarantee a test on the same date 12 months later, an MOT test can be taken 1 month before the current certificate expires. The new certificate then lasts 12 months from the date of expiry of the old certificate. Some but not all garages will send reminders to tell you of upcoming MOT tests; ensure to book your vehicle in promptly
