MOT Test

Hi All, A friend of mine owns a 2002 Clio which the dealer told her that before the end of this year(2005), it will need to get MOT'd. I always thought that new cars has 4 years on them before they get MOT'd.
Can any light be shed on this?

Re: MOT Test

New cars are exempt from needing an MOT for 3 years from new, that's what my parents were told when they bought a brand new car last year.

Re: MOT Test

Tis only 3 years, you will need one to "commence" the fourth year.
