Covid MOT extension.

[bobjol]

Anyone got views on 6 month extension for MOT?  Car test is due in 4 weeks, and local garage informed me that car is good and will pass.

Would like to take advantage of the extended time period, but can anybody see any pitfalls?

I have signed up to the Government website to receive updates on current legislation.

None.

Unless you get a service and MOT done at the same time currently to save on trips to the garage.

guess most people have an annual service and MOT at the same time and I sure as wouldn't delay the service if it's fairly crucial .........  and therefore get a fresh MOT too

I treat my MOTs as annual safety inspections. They help keep me and mine safe, so as soon as my local MOT tester opened up, I took my bike in to get tested.
Yes, you can currently let your MOT run for the extra 6 months, but from a safety point of view, I wouldn't.
Besides, if your local MOT tester doesn't get enough business soon, you may be travelling further to get your car tested.
