A previous thread has reminded me that we arrive back in Portsmouth approx. 17:30 on a Friday. The van will need an MOT. I was going to drive back to Norfolk with an MOT booked for the next day. Not a good idea. Does anyone have an address of an MOT station close to the Port (preferably that is open on Saturdays) By the way it's Friday 13th so I don't want to tempt fate.
An added complication - I ordered the van in December 2011 and collected it with a personal number plate in March 2012 (23rd in fact) and the 12 months tax ran out at the end of March 2013 so I assumed that the first MOT would be needed March 2015. Today I was looking at the V5 and it states first registered Sept 2011. Does this mean it should have had its first MOT 4 months ago? The van is a 12 plate - We had a problem with the original V5 as it stated it was white so I had to send photos of the VIN plate and the van to prove it was grey.
