M.O.T When is it best to put it in,A couple of weeks before?

[Jem]

Got my M.O.T comming up very soon,Since i passed my test ive never took my cars to the garage,Ive allways driven my car to my dads mate who is a mechanic,Who would service it and take it in for the M.O.T.


Well since we have fallen out with my parents im not going to be able to take it to this guy,Which will also mean im not going to be able to have it serviced and the M.O.T Due to money,Ill have to get it serviced sometime after the M.O.T.

So seeing im going to have to take it to a garage and have them fix anything thats going to fail,Would two weeks before be a good time to take it in?

This will be its first M.O.T,Because its a 06 plate,Its had its service each year,And last year service on the visual health check sheet i only had one tick in a amber box,The section for: Under the bonnet section: The tick is for the alternator drive belt: Alternator drive belt cracking
