My car is a bit more than 4 years old now. Will I need to take it for MOT? I didn't receive any papers by mail yet.

Yes, when it is 4 years old it should be MOT; I doubt it the Authoraties send reminders - even if they are supposed to!

Thanks! I wanted to pay my road tax online. Can I do this before I do the MOT?

[Svetlana]

I have renewed my cars on line - fantasically easy, well done the Department of Transport. but they are too new for MOT; I think you have to quote the MOT number, otherwise there can be no enforcement of testing.

I think you have to quote the MOT number

That is what I was afraid. So to pay the road tax online I have to quote the MOT number otherwise they will know I didn't do MOT

I paid our Car Tax online yesterday and was only asked for the vehicle registration, some ID (passport or logbook will suffice), the name of the Insurance company and Policy number.

It was a doddle.

Did you try to log onto the site and see if it asks for your MOT details?

I have paid my tax few months ago on line and I didnt need my MOT...but I had to do that anyway for the police and everything!!!!

[Sotos]

thanks! I will go to pay online now then Should I rush with the MOT thing or the police never checks anyways? whats the fine if you don't do the MOT?

Sotos I'd get your MOT done ASAP
Should you decide to sell the purchaser will require it MOT'd anyway
Plus is it worth getting caught by police for What wont cost a lot of money?
Also maybe if you had an accident or anything would your insurance pay up as technically you would be driving an illegal vehicle?

I dont really know whats the fine exactly but YES you should rush because they cheque for that as well as if you renew your road tax!!!
