ROAD TAX /MOT

[curlyperm11]

My road tax runs out tomorrow, coincidently so does my current MOT, however - after trying to do it online - its saying that the electronic search is not finding any MOT - as i have the certificate here in front of me i am wondering if maybe there needs to be a certain amount of time left on the MOT?
i will have to MOT it tomorrow and then get the road tax - just find it strange as its still legally 'in date'
thanks for any replies

right - been and done it and the upshot is that - had i gone to the post office with my MOT even though it runs out at midnight tonight they would have taxed my car - its just that if you want to do it online - you need around 2 weeks left on it for the electronic system to 'pick it up'

thanks Curlyperm................ "dont mention it! my pleasure"

[ummmm]

Glad to know that Curly....

I have a feeling it won't stay that way for long though.

In my experience you get differing responses depending on which post office you go to - another one would have refused as your MOT ran out before the tax started.
