No MOT can an endorsement be avoided?

don't you get a reminder through the post letting you know your car is due an MOT? I'm sure I did?

You don't get one from the DVLA, but most main agents and probably others too will send out their own reminder to get your mot buisiness;)

Jesus people lay off her, she forgot, it happens, your friend will probably just get a fine, or she already has as this is an old topic.

But yeah, you dont know, she may check the car over every week or get someone to do it for her, you dont know the circumstances, and she is only human, she forgot, it happens, have you ever forgotten to pay a phone bill? Put the bin out for collection? I know its not a small thing like that but its the same circumstances, forgotten to do it when it needed doing.

Likely outcome, no endorsement, just a fine. And she won't forget to do it again anytime soon I would imagine

I wonder how many of the people who are only too happy to moralise and put the boot in would feel the same if they were the one's who forgot?

To those I say... pride cometh before a fall.

Treat it like a birthday and you never forget.

The MOT for our 3 vehicles is marked on our calender and also in my Outlook so that I'm reminded. I also have the date marked 4 weeks before expiry so that I can attend for a test as soon as I've time.

Then again, I'm quite organised like that.

If someone forgets MOT, s/he is highly likely to forget insurance and service as well. None of this actually needed to get your car rolling (illegally of course except the servicing).

Mine's on my calendar now because I thought I was clever and remembered it but when I went to look out paperwork to book it in I realised it was due Novmber and not December. Hence mine was a fortnight late. I now don't rely on my memory and will have a reminder from Outlook.

I think the reason some people are being a little harsh on here is because the OP appears isn't just asking for facts on what will happen but some kind of publication that questions the MOT test. Doesn't matter if it's questioned or not, it's the law and is a safety check that needs doing every year and you can't get tax or insurance without it. Unfortunately you don't get a reminder.

The numbers of people who forget all about it until tax time must be quite huge I would have thought.
