A new MOT text reminder service for customers has been set by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA). Once you have registered, three text reminders will be sent to your mobile phone to remind you of your MOT date.
They will be sent:
• five weeks before
• two weeks before
• the day before
The text message reminders will include the vehicle registration number and MOT due date.
There is a one-off charge of £1.50 (including VAT) to use this service. This charge will be collected through your mobile phone network provider once your registration has been accepted.
VOSA makes the point that anyone subscribing for the MOT text reminder service will still be responsible for ensuring their vehicle has its MOT test by the due date. This is regardless of whether the MOT reminder texts are received or not.
