Time is running out on the Government Corona Virus MOT extension

After granting drivers a six-month extension to their MOT certificates in March, during the coronavirus lockdown, the UK government has announced that mandatory MOT testing will be reintroduced from 1 August 2020. As lockdown measures continue to be relaxed, an increasing number of drivers are returning to the roads, prompting roads minister Baroness Vere of Norbiton to bring the cut-off date for mandatory tests forward from 30 September.

Who will be affected by the change to the MOT exemption?

If you’re a vehicle owner in England, Scotland or Wales, and the MOT for your car, motorcycle or van expires on or after 1 August 2020, you will be affected. Your certificate will not be extended and you’ll need to book an MOT test as you would have done before lockdown. If your MOT was or is due between 30 March and 31 July 2020, you will still be granted the full six-month extension. So if, for example, your MOT is due on 30 July 2020, you won’t need an MOT check until 30 January 2021. This applies to both MOT renewals and vehicles due their first MOT test in this period. If your MOT expiry date was on or before 29 March 2020, you’re expected to book an MOT as usual. If you’re eligible for the extension, you can still book an MOT check sooner if you wish. The government says that now more than 90% of garages are open across the country, but there is likely to be a surge in test bookings and you may face delays. So the government is encouraging drivers to book a test in advance.

!! URGENT - Your 6 month MOT extension may NOT be valid for insurance purposes if you are actually using your car - PLEASE READ !!

A couple of customers have confirmed today that their insurers are only covering cars with the 6 month MOT extension for FIRE AND THEFT ONLY.

This may mean if you are using your car, and you have an accident, you will NOT be covered under these insurers.

This leans towards the legislaton only being in place for people in isolation that cannot get their cars MOT'd, so that they can stay legal whilst parked up.

We would advise as a matter of urgency if you are using your car, and your MOT is falling under the 6 month extension eligibility, to PLEASE call your insurance company to find out if this impacts your cover.

We were really suprised to hear this news this morning, and would hate to see our customers ending up being classfied as 'uninsured'.

If your insurance company says this will not change your level of cover, then you just have to ensure your car is still roadworthy and the extension will still apply. Although please keep in mind slots will be very busy when the extension ends.

Thank you!
