Why set an MOT reminder?

Easy to forget; consequences aren't small:

  • Up to £1,000 fine — driving without a valid MOT is a criminal offence.
  • Insurance may be void — most policies require a valid MOT. Crash without one and you may be personally liable.
  • ANPR cameras flag it automatically — no need for police to stop you to be caught.
  • Convenience — 28 days' notice lets you compare prices and book at a sensible time.

What's in the reminder email?

  • MOT expiry date
  • Days remaining
  • Local garage prices via BookMyGarage

No clutter, no ads, no upsells. Run a full MOT history or tax check any time.

Save money on your MOT

The legal maximum for an MOT test is £54.85 — but many garages charge less. Compare prices in seconds.
