Answer 1

You can check the MOT details on this site:



http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/jsp/ECSID-Internet-Status-Request.jsp



As another poster has correctly stated you can pick up a copy from any MOT garage for no more than £10. Alternatively you can get a copy from VOSA (don't ring DVLA as they have nothing to do with MOT testing).

Answer 2

You can get a replacement at any MOT testing station, see the link below for more details:



http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/Mot/DG_4022108





Quote from Direct.gov -



Replacing lost or damaged MOT certificates.



If you have lost or damaged your certificate, you can get a duplicate from any MOT testing station.



You’ll need to provide the vehicle registration mark and either the original MOT test number, or document reference number - this can be found on the registration certificate (V5C).



The maximum fee for a duplicate certificate for a car is £10.



Hope this helps

All the details are held online these days so contact the dvla and they'll advise you.
