Why should the mileages overlap? Does it really matter? |

No, my test runs out about 4 weeks before the plates. That's what comes of booking the test early. |

compliance and MOT where the same thing here, compliance was scrapped in favor of the MOT as it was pointed out that we should all have an MOT cert just in case we sell the car, and that the compliance was exactly the same, but useless if the car was sold, |

Here it's an MOT plus an additional check of the bodywork and interior, but they only issue a compliance certificate - if you want the MOT cert it's an extra £4. Why they can't just do the test and issue an MOT and then charge an extra £4 for the visual bodywork/interior part is beyond me. Even better have the MOT wherever I like and go to the LA for the condition check and pay them £4. |

Alegidly its against the law not to have an MOT cert for any vehicle over 3 years old, and a compliance one is not exactly an MOT cert |

A ph or hack can have an MoT exemption if the LA's registered to issue a compliance instead of an MoT like Shepway does. the problem come when you come to sell the car..as someone mentioned above. |

Not such a big worry, the test still has to go on the VOSA database as an MOT, its just the printed MOT you dont get, if you sell the car and the test is long just ask for a reprint/MOT |

You must have something to show at the post office when you tax the car. |
