Re: General Chit Chat
I've had that problem a couple of times, it sort of comes as a bit of a shock when you realise. The benefit you now have, is that when you get your next tax disc reminder, you'll know your MOT is due (if you got a 12 month disc). Which works quite well as it gives you about a month from the tax disc reminder to get it sorted...Burnden Paddock wrote:I'm annoyed with myself, due to my own stupidity. I went to buy my tax disc yesterday at the PO and was asked for my MOT. For some reason, I was convinced that my car was first registered in May 2011 and didn't expect that I needed an MOT until next month. Upon checking, I discovered that it was registered in March 2011. I have been driving around for the last two months, without an MOT.![]()
Quick visit to the garage this morning and MOT passed. I won't be making that mistake again!

In this day and age you'd think they could send automatic reminders of MOT's being due......Worthy4England wrote:I've had that problem a couple of times, it sort of comes as a bit of a shock when you realise.

Not as far as I know. Perhaps the garage you get it done in might, mine doesn't.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:Don't they?BWFC_Insane wrote:In this day and age you'd think they could send automatic reminders of MOT's being due......Worthy4England wrote:I've had that problem a couple of times, it sort of comes as a bit of a shock when you realise.

I guess the Tax Disc reminder will tell you when the car is due it's first MOT (I think) but of course that depends on it all being in sync....

Re: General Chit Chat
You can pay £1.50 to receive an MOT reminder text. Surely it would be beneficial to take an email address and receive an automated reminder. Obviously all of those paying £1.50 make it financially worthwhile for them not to implement such an obvious benefit. Not that I am blaming anyone else for my own blatant stupidity.BWFC_Insane wrote:In this day and age you'd think they could send automatic reminders of MOT's being due......Worthy4England wrote:I've had that problem a couple of times, it sort of comes as a bit of a shock when you realise.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
