cheeRS Rich
The organising and delivery of an MOT seminar is carried out by VOSA
As with any training event it is only as good as the person delivering the course
If anyone wants to test my explanation of the 12 month MOT then try the following
Your car has a current valid MOT certificate that has any number of months remaining but you need to tax it
Your car is in perfect condition
Fit 1 faulty tyre and then go for an MOT
Allow the car to fail be issued with a "Refusal of an MOT Certificate" but do not repair it
Now go to Post Office or go online and try to tax it
As your original MOT is still within 12 months you will be able to tax it !
