Car Controle Technique Date

5 years ago
Hi there,

Quick question if you know.
I exported my British car to France just inside the 6 month window after it's MOT. It took them 3 months to process. I received my carte gris and the x1 info on the carte gris says the date for a new CT 2yr 9 months after the British MOT. I feel uneasy leaving it that long for safety sake. However, I am coming up to the year from the last UK MOT. I would feel happier if someone with a good understanding of the French law confirms that the only thing that is important is the date on the Carte Gris. Many thanks, Adam.
