MOT

Do we need to stick an MOT sticker on our windscreens?
Just asking as my dad says we have to and at my last MOT I only got the new paper certs with no stickers.
Thanks

No, you don't. Infact i advise you do not as they are a pain to get off and look horrible.

I never knew such a thing existed!

The only cars I ever see with an MOT sticker in the windscreen are ones that are falling apart. Yes it may have once passed an MOT, but I bet it wouldn't now!

Just a reminder sticker, doesnt have to go in the windscreen at all just somewhere you may see now and then if you are concerned about forgetting about the MOT.

Never even heard of them

You've never seen the sticker attached to your MOT certificates? (pre-laser printed tickets)

Kenai · 4 Jan 2012 at 18:54

Can't say i've noticed any stickers, no.

I am mystified as to how it can be missed.

It was on every single computerised MOT certificate.

The MOT reminder sticker, what a great invention.

Every man and his mother put the damn thing on the windscreen, meaning that within 3 months the sun has bleached out the printed ink and it can't be read any more.

No you don't need to put the sticker on your windscreen.

If you have a brain you can probably remember when the M.O.T. is due.

King85 · 4 Jan 2012 at 20:36

Never seen one either.

Well to be honest, i've never really spent much time looking at them, just shove them in the wallet with the rest of the certificates, job done

You get a sticker with your MOT certificate? I've never noticed.

You would be amazed by the amount of phone calls we get that go along these lines

'hello, can i book my car in for a MOT please?'
'sure, when is it due?'
'9 months ago.'

on the back of the certificate, peel it off nd stick it on the windscreen (or wherever for the taxis we used to stick them on our wallplanner
