None whatsoever unless you plan to return after it expires.
The expiry date is there for a reason - there is no countdown to it that
would cause a problem.

There is for some countries - which insist that the passport must be valid for
at least 6 months after the date you leave.

...yes this is why I ask. I suspect it's the more 'exotic' locations?

I believe that CG is incorrect. Italy, from what I've read, requires
a passport that is valid for at least _90 days_ from the date of entry.
This due, most likely, to the fact that if you are from a country for
which no-visa is required (i.e. the U.S.), you get an automatic visit
of up to 90 days. If you have a visa for a longer stay (i.e. families
of U.S. military or NATO), you need a passport that expires 90
days after the expiration of the visa (Italian Embassy).
OTOH, if you were to present a ticket with a date of return before
the expiry date, they may let you in, but I would not take that chance.
Bite the bullet and renew your passport. Who knows, you may want
to travel abroad sometime in the next 10 years. =R=

Re: Short Passport in Italy
Some sources state 90 days from expected date of departure from Italy,
rather than entry.
These details are often very difficult to find out and more so to
verify - even Embassy websites (I'm not thinking of Italy) can be
unhelpful on this.
The chances are it wouldn't be picked up, particularly if you enter by
land, but I wouldn't want to risk it.
The unexpired period will be added to the new passport so you won't
lose out.

When I renewed my United States passport in 2003, this was not true, so
I lost out on about 6 months worth.

UK passports will have their validity extended, (up to a maximum I can't
rememeber), if you renew early.
I got a few extra weeks when I renewed mine.

It's actually up to nine months:
To encourage customers to apply early we now offer a facility that
enables applicants with unexpired validity in their old passports to
receive a credit, up to the nearest whole month (minimum of one month,
maximum of nine months) in their new passport.
