depends, if you get it done 18th Jan, it will only run until 18th jan 2007. If you get it done 24th Jan I think (they either say month or 28 days before its due to run out) it will last until 23rd Feb 2007

Yea, which is why I said getting it sone on the 18th of Jan will only last until 18th Jan 2007, due to them bring able to do it a month in advance. If you have the MOT done on the 23rd/24th of Jan, it will then last unitl 23rd Feb 2007 as long as you take your last certificate along to prove it.
