At the start of lockdown, and in the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Government announced that from 30th March any car, van or motorcycle will be eligible for a 6 month MOT extension.
This was introduced to help ease the pressure on garages and motorists to continue to use their vehicles for essential travel, even when their test had expired.
We are living in crucial times right now. The coronavirus pandemic is gripping the nation and the strict social distancing lockdown has resulted in many of us having to stay at home, virtually all the time.
The Government recently announced an extension for MOT Tests that are due after 30th March 2020. Cars, vans and motorcycles are eligible for a 6 month extension, however, you must ensure your vehicle or bike is roadworthy during this extension otherwise you can be fined up to £2,500, face a driving ban and 3 penalty points if you are found to be driving a vehicle that is in a dangerous condition.
Although deemed an "essential business" by the government, the extension of all MOT's by 6 months and lack of car sales has hit our business very hard. Many people are correctly abiding by the strict rules of lockdown by staying at home and are not using their cars.
