For the majority of vehicles that have only recently had an MOT, that recent MOT will be valid for 12 months, meaning that there has been a huge shift in the number of MOTs that expire towards the end of the calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shift means that there is a surge in demand for a limited number of MOT slots during this period, and we have seen data to suggest that normal MOT demand now peaks at up to 200% towards the end of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>CHECK WHEN YOUR VEHICLE\u2019S MOT IS DUE<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re unsure when your vehicle\u2019s MOT is due, you can use our handy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrclutch.com\/mot-checker\">MOT Expiry Checker Tool<\/a> to check for yourself. Just visit the link below, fill in your details, and we\u2019ll inform you of when your vehicle\u2019s MOT expires. You can also use this handy tool to set MOT reminders too, so you\u2019ll never miss an MOT due date again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrclutch.com\/mot-checker\">MOT Expiry Checker Tool<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>YOU MAY STILL WANT TO GET AN MOT \u2013 RESET YOUR VEHICLE CALENDAR!<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if your MOT is not due just yet, you may still want to get your vehicle MOT\u2019d. You don\u2019t have to wait until your MOT expires to have another MOT test, and having another test before the current test expires is common when selling vehicles, to ensure that the vehicle is fully roadworthy before it is sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to this, it is common for drivers to have their MOT, vehicle service, insurance and tax all due at the same time, which really helps to ensure that none are forgotten and missed! If your vehicle\u2019s MOT is now out of sync, you may wish to book another MOT to reset your vehicle calendar, and avoid the surge in demand for MOTs towards the end of the calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Note \u2013 There is a chance that your vehicle may not pass the new test first time if its condition has changed, but once it has passed, the new MOT will be valid for 12 months.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>BOOK ONLINE AND SAVE TODAY!<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you wish to reset your vehicle calendar and avoid the MOT surge later in the year, take advantage of our great online prices and <a href=\"\/mot\">BOOK NOW<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IS MY VEHICLE\u2019S MOT DUE IF I RECEIVED AN MOT EXEMPTION LAST YEAR?
