Thanks for that. I`ve just found this on Dept of Transport website. It looks like in the near future it probably will be a legal requirement, when they get their database updated.


MOT WINDSCREEN REMINDER
For some time now we have been looking at introducing MOT reminders which motorists can place
in the windscreens of their vehicles. By ensuring that as few people as possible forget their MOT
expiry date, VI hopes to encourage more motorists to get their vehicles tested on time thereby
improving road safety and environmental protection.
We intended to introduce reminders at the same time that the MOT Computerisation service
commenced. Due to the delay in MOT Computerisation we have decided to introduce windscreen
reminders as soon as possible.
The windscreen reminders will come in pads and will be issued to you automatically when you
order your pads of certificates. You will also be able to order packs as individual items.
VTS Involvement
When the vehicle is presented for MOT test, the VTS should inform the presenter that if the vehicle
passes the MOT Test the vehicle will have a windscreen reminder completed as part of the normal
documentation.
If consent is given by the vehicle presenter, the tester should fix the windscreen reminder in a
appropriate place.
If permission is not obtained then pass the reminder to the vehicle presenter with the other
completed documents.
Tester
If the vehicle successfully passes the MOT test, the tester must complete the windscreen reminder
and fix it to the inside of the windscreen. The reminder should not be fixed to paint work.
The windscreen reminder will be hand written with the same wording as the expiry date for the test
certificate (VT20), as set out in the MOT Guide Appendix 7.
