@ Roy: I don't see the point in trying to get a car through an MOT in the middle of winter for the sake of £16 worth of MOT time. My XC90 was a December MOT and I was always going to change it but never did so was determined that the V70 wasn't going to be done on the darkest days of the year.
@ stuart: Yes you can put a car through an MOT as often as you want, there are no rules to stop you doing it every day if your pockets are deep enough.
