MOT TESTING REINTRODUCED FROM 1ST AUGUST
The Department for Transport has announced that mandatory MOT testing is to be reintroduced from 1st August 2020. MOT tests are important for road safety and ensure that vehicle parts, including tyres, seatbelts, brakes, lights and exhausts, are in proper working order.
Our dealerships are experiencing high demand and capacity restrictions due to strict social distancing measures so we recommend you book your MOT well in advance.
Drivers with an MOT due date between 30th March to 31st July 2020 will still receive a 6-month exemption from testing. However, all vehicles must continue to be properly maintained and kept in a roadworthy condition. If your vehicle is exempt from the legal requirement you are able to voluntarily get your MOT sooner should you wish.
