What happens if my vehicle passes the MOT test? If your vehicle passes the MOT test then you will be issued with the new computer-printed MOT certificate, which is your receipt for the MOT test and shows the information that will be held on the MOT database.

The MOT certificate (VT20) now has a peel off windscreen sticker to remind you of the MOT renewal date although we will be happy to send you a reminder. The new certificate also shows if any additional work has been recommended. Details of any such work are included on a new Advisory Notice (VT32), which will be given to you at the time of the test.

Remember the MOT test is not a substitute for a proper and regular servicing. Passing the MOT test does not mean that your vehicle will remain safe for the following 12 months
