Going to part exchange my car for a new one tomorrow morning.
Just realised that I don't have the MOT certificate - must have misplaced it.
Any idea if the dealership will insist on me producing it? I understand that I can go back to the garage that carried it out and ask for a re-print (£10 I believe), but it is in the opposite side of town...
PS: I typed my details into the DVLA website and it shows that the MOT is in place, so I can take a copy of this with me.
Now that it's all online, I believe any test centre can issue a replacement "receipt" (it's not a certificate any more").
Only the dealer can tell you if they'll insist on it.
They are online now

Don't sweat it, they're not going to give up the opportunity to plug you on the new car deal for the sake of a few a few minor details.
If they 'insist', grow some and tell them to look it up online and walk if they refuse/try to renegotiate, you wont get far before being called back.
Thanks - this is where I got the print out from.
Sounds like a plan...
That should be all you need. the actual certificate doesn't tell you significantly more than that. What you have is sufficient proof that there is a valid MOT in place to enable you to sell it.
As suggested here, the sales guy huffed and puffed a bit, but was never going to lose the sale, so accepted my print-out.
Thanks all for your advice.
Result! Glad you're sorted and thanks for feeding back.
