Its changed Mick, its all computerised and these crappy ink jet printed on plain paper certificates mean if you loose them your mot date is preserved now...

Is that assuming the MOT tester actually checks this before issuing a pass certificate? I don't think it is that foolproof. Come to think of it I do believe I forgot my ZS ticket and was the old green one, they obviously didn't check it on-line to gain the 3 or 4 days it was early when it passed.
