Had my Tax reminder through last week, went to do it on line and it came back as no MOT, Mmmm, got the paperwork out and lo & behold, the MOT ran out in MAY:eek:
A quick ring to the local MOT station & it was booked in for this morning, popped the DB Killers in, checked all the light etc & off I went this morning.

No problems, new MOT in hand and DB Killers now removed, just need to get it taxed on line now:)


Why can we not have an MOT reminder????

Isn't there one on the MOT cert you can peel of and stick somewhere, like under the seat

I just put my MOTs, Tax & Soorn dates as reoccuring appointments on Microsoft Outlook

Yes & I will now do that, as for outlook, I use express, maybe I should look to using outlook.

So long as you have made an appointment you are clear to ride the bike to and from the MOT station (I believe) 4D

Yep, and to and from a garage for repairs to get it through an MOT test, again if prebooked.

be interested to see how long it takes to be on the system, when I let my off road bike insurance lapse it took over a week to get it on the system.

If I recall rightly when Chris got Cathy's 620 Monster MOT'd it was on the system by the time they got the bike back home, allowing them to tax it the same day

Blimey, that's a bit of a sharp memory Skids, but yes you are correct, less than 20 mins after having the MOT on Cathy's bike , |I taxed it online, well done the DVLA:)
