How can I check whether a car I'm buying has a current MoT?
I am considering purchasing a little runabout for work and the guy who is selling it tells me it has a valid MoT certificate, but can't put his hands on it at the moment. The car is tidy but I don't want to leave a 50 per cent deposit until I'm sure it has a valid MoT. How can I find out if there is a current one which is valid, albeit if it is only for two months?

You need to see the MoT.
