The Department for Transport has announced that, from 30 March 2020, all cars, vans and motorcycles which would usually require a MOT test will be temporarily exempted.
Vehicle owners will be granted a 6-month exemption from MOT testing, enabling them to continue to travel to work where this absolutely cannot be done from home, or shop for necessities.
This temporary legislation will be in place for 12 months.
Vehicles must be kept in a roadworthy condition, and garages will remain open for essential repair work. Drivers can be prosecuted if driving unsafe vehicles and should follow advice on keeping a vehicle in a good condition.
Whilst the exemption is in place, vehicles can be taxed as normal. Go to Tax online, call 0300 1234 321 or visit the Post Office.
