Covid 19 - What you need to know - MOTs extended

A new measure has now been announced to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

From 30 March 2020, MOT due dates for cars, motorcycles and light vans will be extended by 6 months. 

You do not need to do anything to extend your vehicle’s MOT expiry date if it’s on or after 30 March 2020. However, you must keep your vehicle safe to drive.

 If your first MOT was due before 30 March 2020 and your vehicle did not pass.  Your vehicle will not get an extension to its MOT due date.  Your vehicle will need to pass an MOT before you can drive it again.
