Terms and information

zacdaddy garage provides general information to help you plan. It is not an official government service.

Official information comes first

zacdaddy garage is not connected with DVSA, DVA, GOV.UK or nidirect. Confirm your MOT record and the current rules through the appropriate official service. Official guidance takes precedence.

About the calculation

The planner applies the normal Great Britain one-month-minus-a-day rule to the date you enter. It does not verify the date, access a vehicle record or book an appointment.

Roadworthiness and expired MOTs

The planner does not establish whether a vehicle is safe or roadworthy, and it does not provide permission to drive. Seek current official guidance and professional help where needed.

Pre-MOT checklist

The checklist covers simple observations only. Completing it does not guarantee an MOT pass and is not a substitute for inspection, maintenance or repair by a competent professional.

Availability

The service may change or be withdrawn. Check dates and arrangements with an MOT centre before relying on an appointment.
