    Waste of time and money, IMHO, using council services, a 3 year old car is not going to fail on very much (if anything), and if you ask around for recommendations you would find an Honest Joe's MOT who was local and quite possibly cheaper and offering a free (or reduced price) retest.

    In my experience a council tester is far more likely to be very strict and fail you on things that other test stations would either overlook or advise on.

    You should go now and take your V5 along with you (just to be sure they get the right date).

    It will run from the 14th Dec if you take it in any time between now and 14th. So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by getting it done ASAP.

    I thought the first MoT ran from the date you had it done but I 'm prepared to be shown the DVLA's info to the contrary.;)

    "An MOT can be carried out at anytime"

    It's not usually necessary to have a V5 these days, but safer to bring it just incase.

    Thanks for that. Two years before I have to worry about it.:rolleyes:
