.....do I get 13 months MOT if it passes tomorrow or should I ring the garage in the morning and see if they can do it later in the week?

You are allowed to put the vehicle in for a test up to one month before the old one expires it tells you on the old certificate the earliest date you can put it in for, if it passes the new MOT should be dated from the expiry date of the old one, so in effect you will get 13 months from tomorrow.0

It's good you got me to check the certificate cos I've just realised that I incorrectly noted the issue date (Feb 22nd) as the expiry date, which is actually the 11th of March!
So I'm doubly stupid, but I think I'll now cancel my MOT for tomorrow and book it for mid Feb.

The certificate tells you the earliest date you can have it tested.When you can MOT your vehicle
You can renew your MOT up to one month before it expires without affecting your annual expiry date. The earliest date you can present your vehicle for test is printed on the pass certificate.0 -
