Temporary Exemption Certificates for MOTs

guiriman

Just wondering if anyone has had any contact regarding these, it says they'll be issued from 1st June so logical if not but I can't help feeling nervous as my MOT is due 11th June and I've no appointment. It does say that any existing appointment will be cancelled and refunded but I'd rather not book one even on that basis as it will only block an appointment for someone else (https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/services/book-your-mot-vehicle-test-online)

The link appears to be broken
Was your car first registered June 2017 or June 2019
If you tried booking one now you might be lucky and get one now and as you would be within the month so your new certificate would be dated 11th June. If you are not successful You just have to take what's available and just sit on the site until you get one that's suits
In my case I had a date then a  second one still beyond the expiry date on the third attempt managed to get a date prior to expiry you also need  a date to keep the insurer happy

It appears that you will not receive a paper or digital copy but have to check on a link that will tell you your new expiry date.
If you had booked a test you would receive a supplemently email giving you the new expiry date  along with the refund and cancellation email

Checked it today and all good, the MOT isn't due to June 2025 next year, glad I didn't book at test
