New MOT Certificates

[-V-T-R-]

Has anyone seen the new MOT certificates? It's just a white piece of paper with a few boxes :wacko:

here's a link on google to show you incase you ain't seen them:

There was nothing wrong with the old ones and I think the new ones will be easy to fraud so will have to watch out for them!

are are not a certificate, they are now a receipt.

you should no longer be asked to produce a valid MOT certificate, if the database says you have no mot, then you have no mot, and visa versa.

ive just got one of these, i thought they were having a laugh when they handed it over...

The top one is the newer type? Looks like its printed on a piece of paper. It doesn't look professional like a "Certificate"

Why are they getting rid of the current ones anyway?

So it doesn't matter that I lost my last one? Not even sure when my mots up ffs.

It shows the advisories aswell so you cant throw the sheet away.

[Gabbastard]

All on a database now, so its only there as a reminder to you so you know when to get another.

I remember the good old days where you just had to produce a certificate to the cops, no database for ANPR to check lol

[logic_guy]

I assume there is a fine for driving around with no MOT? Do you get any points?.... I need to dig mine out as i have a feeling its due next month.

You can check the MOT online, just need the mot number or v5 number to check!

there not new weve been issueing them since september

it looks like its printed on a plain bit of paper cos it is, there is no point in faking one as its all on a database.

As said, they aren't really new lol.

[Scorgie01]

They were brought out In october as i got the old style Fail sheet on the 10th and then the new style certificate on the 20th

[stupotvtr]

I'd have to dig mine out but they even say on them there not worth the paper there written on and a car is only roadworthy at the time of the test.

[rob_s]

They've always said that

And they scrapped the old one for cost saving iirc

So long as it gets a pass who cares what the certificate looks like

seen one, it is printed on a piece of paper. Then you can imagine the greasy fingerprints on top. Haven't done any repairs on the car yet that you get slapped with £50 MOT + £50 labour then VAT on top of it. My brother effectively paid £220 total for a shock absorber. Just one, they didn't even changed the pair :S
