Mot reminder

FirstTimer4Me

What's the easiest way people remember their MOT date?

Unlike a tax disc reminder in the post, MOT is easily forgotten about (well it is for me lol)

Diary, calendar, mobile phone, computer. Take your pick!

Put it in your diary or online calendar if you use one?

Remember reading on my MOT there was a reminder service I could subscribe to but no doubt that would cost.

MOT reminder text service printed on the MOT certificates but it is something like £1.50 a pop.

I put important stuff into google calendar that is synced to my phone therefore I get alerts when things come up.

The MOT station I use stick a small sticker in my windscreen with the date on it.

Not exactly breaking the bank though, I signed up for the current car (which ill shortly be replacing Doh) but mainly I just rely on the oh she seems to have photographic memory for these things.

Whichever garage services the car sends me a letter a few weeks before the MOT is due to remind me.

Yes, not good if you know you won't still have the car come next MOT time.

I can basically remember when mine are due, though not to the specific day, and I try to remember to keep the "current" documentation somewhere close at hand in case I have to produce it for any reason.

I wouldn't think it's wise to rely on reminders from the DVLA or wherever, especially by post. I'm sure there's a disclaimer that says that not receiving a reminder isn't an excuse for not renewing your VED. And from October, it's not as if you'll be able to look on the windscreen for a reminder of when the VED runs out.

I bought my car in March, it came with a new MOT when I bought it, so my MOT is due in March. Remember, simple.
