Your car needs to have an MOT when it is three years old, so it needs doing on or before the the third anniversary of its' first registration date. I don't think you get any reminder it's up to you to ge it done on time.

Your tax reminder letter is a pretty good nudge, but if it doesn't arrive you can't blame the DVLA for missing it.

On it's third birthday - it's date of birth (registration) is on your log book.
