I've used the search function and I'm a bit flabbergasted this has never been asked on here

My dynamic will turn 3 years old on 01/03/17 I don't know where the times goes tbh they grow up so quick

How quick can I book her in for an MOT? If I book my car in for an MOT now will it be valid until 01/03/18? MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

AFAIK, up to a month in advance. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

08 FL2 TD4 SE Manual in Rimini Red (Now Gone)

I seem to remember if it's the first mot then you don't get the calendar month,but could be wrong.

I was wrong!

"You can renew or book in for your first MOT up to a month before its due and an MOT certificate will be valid for 12 months following the test. Only a Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) approved MOT centre will be acceptable."

No mention of post dating first test.  10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

1st MOT cannot be post dated

Subsequent tests can be post dated, with the vehicle presented up to 1 calendar month before expiry, whilst a fail/partial retest must be presented within 14 days, or another full test will apply

Of course, should it fail on anything, it would hopefully be picked up under the remaining manufacturers warranty, providing it's not a wear/tear item

did you miss this one

Don't know never kept one long enough to find out. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I must admit, this is the first car that I can remember in a long time that has needed an MOT, normally get shut every three years.
My mileage is not what it used to be so kept hold, although it's starting to show signs of needing little bits doing, I think 2017 might be the year to swap.

Thanks gents

Taz the search brought up sod all

I'm keeping her as the mileage on her is nothing! Under 9,000 miles and I've owned her from new and spent a few pennies on extras. There is nothing out their to tempt me to part ex at the moment and in all honesty and if there was I'd still keep it as I'm happy with the car!  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

my mx5 had it's first mot in September and it was done 3 weeks before it was due, and it covers the year plus the 3 weeks.

If I log a vehicle onto the system prior to starting the test and the current test has more than 1 month (or 30 days, can't remember which), the computer says something along the lines of "vehicle too early to allow any extra credit on new test expiry date". Pretty sure I've seen the same message when logging one on for its first test so yes, you can have them done up to a month early and not lose any time. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Had mine done today and thankfully passed. Due date is in a months time and now tested until 23 March 2018. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

Mine past also it's first MOT. No surprise really as my FL1 has never failed an MOT till date

Recently had my first MOT (and passed) but oddly, when I had my three year service in November, the dealer didn't do the MOT as they had the car as first registered in February 2014 instead of the V5 date of November 2013.

It's an ex LR car too... you think they'd have got it right on their own database eh...
