MOT due date

My car was registered 23 July 2013. Tax due from 1 July.

Do I need to get MOT before 1 July?

No but you need one from 23rd July. You can get one from I believe 28 days early to start on 23rd.

All you need is the MOT status to be valid for when the Tax begins.

You'll need to then get the MOT before your 3 years runs out.
