DVSA MOT Reminder Service

Conscript · 1 Sep 2017 at 10:16

The DVSA have developed an MoT reminder service that will tell people their vehicle’s test is soon to expire. When signed up, users will receive an email one month before the expiry date and another two weeks before if they have still not had the vehicle tested.

Couldn't find a specific thread about this, but I know it's been mentioned before that it's surprising there's no official reminder service for MOT tests. It seem the government is now testing such a service, but you can already sign up as part of the beta. I've just signed up for both my cars.

Seems a bit overdue to me. I know a lot of people probably already use apps or just calendar reminders for their MOT, but it's nice to see the DVSA themselves actually providing the service.

Good idea at last. Mine is on Tuesday which isn't good as it needs a few things done.
