    jeep is up for doe in december, i assume it is not like the nct in that if i get it done now it would still run from december to december?, its from date test is done till that date the following year??

    Also, I assume I can do it early?!, just december doesn't really suit to be futtering at getting it ready as it is in use every day over the winter.

    thanks

    Yes, It's done annually from the previous test date, not by date of first registration.

    Yes, you can do it early if you want.

    Some more info here.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L bottles or bigger to avoid the DRS fee.

    You can DOE anytime early or late, it's valid from the date of test

    DOE runs for 12 months from test date.

    Mine was due next December, got it tested today, have Cert for 12 months.

    Slidey should be able to advise here?

    Yep, as all else have said. It runs from the date you PASS the test on.

    So if you get tested on the 1st and fail but don't go for the retest until the 18th that is when your cert will run from. It should be noted however that if you are stopped and asked to produce in that time, telling AGS that you are waiting on a retest will not cut the mustard if you have had an accident

    Some may not know, but there are proposals by the RSA for some significant changes to the DOE. You can have your say until this Friday 4/11/11. Thread on motors here.
