How this works

  1. Run the check. The result shows the MOT expiry date and how many days are left.
  2. Click Add reminder to calendar on the result. Your phone or computer saves the due date with alerts 21 days and 7 days before.
  3. Book the test up to a month minus a day early. Do that and the new certificate keeps your old renewal date, so early testing costs you nothing.

The reminder lives in your own calendar, not on our server. We do not take your email address and we do not store the registration. That is the whole point: a reminder service with nothing to sign up for.

Why the two alerts are set where they are

The 21 day alert lands inside the early-booking window, so you can book at a convenient garage rather than whoever has a slot left. The 7 day alert is the backstop. About one car in four fails its first attempt, and a failed test with days in hand is an inconvenience rather than a crisis.

Frequently asked

When is my MOT due?

Enter the registration above. We read the official DVSA record and show the exact expiry date, with a countdown of the days left.

How early can I book the test?

Up to one month minus a day before the expiry date. Book inside that window and the new certificate keeps the old renewal date, so you lose nothing by testing early.

How does the calendar reminder work?

One click downloads a small calendar file with the MOT due date and two built-in alerts, 21 days and 7 days before. It works with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook. No email, no account, and we keep no copy.

What happens if my MOT runs out?

You can only drive the vehicle to a pre-booked test or to a repair appointment. Driving otherwise risks a fine of up to £1,000, and up to £2,500 if the vehicle is judged dangerous.

The rules and fines around due dates are covered properly in MOT rules in plain English, and the legal maximum test fee is worth knowing before you book.
