Making sure your car is safe to be on the road I would say is essential.

I think it’s a bit soon to be asking that. Why not give it a couple of days for the detail to come out, but I’d say she’ll be fine. Either it will be deferred or garages will remain open.
Lockdown number 1 saw garages allowed to remain open. I don’t see this any different tbh.
Yes but weren't extensions given on MOTs in lockdown #1?
I think we'll have to see what happens as the full details are announced. My car is, frustratingly, booked in for a service and MoT on Thursday, after the MoT date was extended during the first lockdown, so I'll be trying to work out exactly this over the next couple of days!

I run an MOT bay,with covid precautions already long in place and no orders to close - why would we close??
Was it true that the time you had to get a test was extended but the period the test covered was not?
So if your test was due in May 2020 and it was extended and you got the test done in September, your next MOT was still due in May 2021?
I think we will get more clarity over the coming days especially by Wednesday when the text of the legislation for this is debated in parliament.

No, you get the certificate valid from a year from when the deferred test was done - as is right. There would be no justification for demanding more than one test in a year
In case anyone cares, as an aside..
Driving licences that have recently expired all have a 10 month extension. Found out the other day when the company alerted me to an expired licence...even though it hasn’t officially expired (Sep 2020 expiry date).
My MOT was due in May 2020 and it was extended to Nov 2020. I had it tested last week and it’s valid until Oct 2021.
Thanks both
Im sure on you MOT it will say the earliest you can get it tested to preserve your date. Eg due 1st Nov , earliest date 10th Oct , valid until 1st Nov 21.
My aunts car MOT runs out in lockdown. She lives with an older cousin who is shielding and has a fear of open spaces. One is Welsh and the other is Scottish but they both live in Doncaster. One can only go out on Wednesday or Sunday because of a phobia and the other only has a fear of sunlight. How will the lockdown affect them?
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Book the MOT for a Wednesday after 4.00!
Half day closing I’m afraid 😂

That won't matter, go in the morning, they rarely see the sun in Doncaster

Assuming they’re over sixty, let’s just send them both up the chimney. Come on, man, we’re supposed to be Tories!
I believe the expression is 'circling the drain'.
