       It's actually possible to get an MoT at any time.
       The significance of the 4-week window is that your new
       certificate will be valid for a year from the expiry of the
       previous one.
       [/quote]Thanks, that is what I was meaning to get across.

       Yes - I do this every year with my not quite yet classic second
       car.
       I have it SORN over the winter in my garages.
       Take it direct to the MOT due in spring in this state.
       and drive it direct back home again once passed.
       Then once the weather gets better(!) I tax it for the year and
       use it.
       Then around Nov I cancel the tax and get the refund.
       Generally I arrange the MOT a week or so prior to its expiry
       date
       One thing I do is put a sheet of paper on the passenger seat
       "saying this car is on SORN"
       To warn the garage doing the MOT not to park much less drive the
       car on the road.
