When is it being MOT’d?

I m trying for cancellation but date I got for it was September or something mental lol i keep trying but I'm always at work when a date comes up. Mot is some mess currently. Do your head in.

Even when it is MOT’d, it’ll be long sold before ‘interested’ parties on here come to buy it.

I would have the same problem, don’t have the time to mess around sorting an MOT. So anything I am considering needs to have at least 6 months MOT on it to be an option.

If you work at a computer there's very minimal messing around involved with getting an MOT. Once you have one booked it takes minutes to look for a cancellation a couple of times a day. I've had absolutely no bother with MOTs in the last year - always managed to get one fairly local within the next day or two after checking for cancellations.

Can understand it's a pain in the hoop if you're something that doesn't require you to sit in front of a computer for periods of time.

It’s the time to take the car for the MOT, not the booking process.
