If you get an advisory you should need an MOT in 6 months time, if you don't get an advisory for 2+ checks you get 2 years.
 
Advisories do wind me up a bit because I can advise a tyre with 1.8mm on it which by the time the customer has done a short journey will be illegal, but people just look at the pass certificate and don’t worry until next years test.
Same with tyres that are completely bald on the edges and the cords are about to come through, I have to pass and advise.
Drives me potty.
