M.O.T Question

My M.O.T is due on April 12th. I have been told you can have it done up to one month beforehand.
If I book mine in for next week and it passes, would the new certificate start from that date or from April 12th please. I don't want to lose almost a month but I am anxious to get it done because I need to know if it needs any repairs before I use my savings to pay for the rest of my Sun holiday. :)

    Your new one will expire April 11 2013, so will be valid for just over a year.

    But don't forget to take the current MOT certificate in with you, I don't think they give you the extra time without it.
