Vehicle owners will be granted a 6 month exemption from MOT testing, allowing them to continue to travel to work where this absolutely cannot be done from home, or to shop for necessities.
All cars, vans and motorcycles which would usually require an MOT test will be exempted from needing a test from 30 March 2020.
Vehicles must be kept in a roadworthy condition and garages will remain open for essential repair work.
If you can’t get an MOT that’s due, because you’re in self-isolation, the Department for Transport is working with insurers and the police to make sure people aren’t unfairly penalised for things out of their control.
