MoT: 72-day wait for test in NI is new normal, DVA boss says. Motorists in Northern Ireland face an average wait of 72 days for an MoT test, it has been revealed. Chief executive of the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA), Jeremy Logan, told the BBC's Evening Extra programme this length of wait was the new normal.
An official MOT vehicle test certificate issued within the United Kingdom is valid in Northern Ireland.
From 1st June 2024, vehicles that were first registered between 1st June 2017 and 31st May 2018 or between 1st June 2019 and 31st May 2020 will be given a Temporary Exemption Certificate (TEC) if they currently have a valid Northern Ireland MOT certificate.
Yes, you can drive a car to a pre-booked MOT test without a valid MOT certificate, even if it is on SORN and doesn't have car tax. The vehicle must have insurance and you should check the policy is valid for driving without an MOT, as some insurers may not cover vehicles under these circumstances.
If you go for the MOT before the old one runs out, and it fails, you can still legally drive it home, unless the tester says it is unsafe to do so.
Many drivers still think that getting an MOT is not a major concern. Some are even under the impression that it is fine to do the test a few months past due when it really isn't. There is NO MOT grace period!

Is there ever a time I can drive without an MOT? The simple answer is, no, it's illegal to drive without an MOT. If your vehicle is more than three years old, you can't drive without an MOT unless you are driving to a pre-booked test at an authorised test centre.
You can be fined up to £1,000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT. You can get an MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date. If your MOT runs out on 15 May, the earliest you can get an MOT to keep the same renewal date for next year is 16 April.
