Get MOT reminders
Sign up to get free reminders by text message or email when your MOT is due.
When you sign up you’ll get a reminder:
- one month before your car, van or motorcycle MOT is due
- 2 months before your lorry, bus or large trailer MOT is due
You can be fined up to £1,000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT.
You cannot use this service if you live in Northern Ireland - you’ll get a reminder by post 7 weeks before your MOT is due.
You can also use this service to view your current reminders or stop an MOT reminder.
Before you start
You need:
- the vehicle’s number plate (registration number)
- a mobile phone number or email address
Vehicle recalls
Your reminders may tell you if your vehicle has been recalled for a safety reason, depending on the manufacturer. You can also check if a vehicle model, part or accessory has been recalled.
