Renew a vehicle Private Hire
If there are no slots available before your vehicle licence plate expires, please book the earliest slot available. Our testing centre can see all vehicles with an open booking, the date your plate expires and the date the test booked. Licensing will manage your booking and, depending on availability, may be able to offer an earlier date. Drivers who book their MOT at the earliest opportunity will have the best chance of an earlier appointment.
Drivers should also continue to check the MOT Booking system for cancellations.
It is currently advised to aim to book your test 90 days (3 months) in advance of your plate expiry.
Ensure you enter your expiry date when completing the booking to see the bookings within the 28-day window of your expiry.
Drivers do not need to contact to advise their booking is after their plate expires or to request earlier availability.
