In March 2020, the government confirmed that to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), MOT expiry dates were to be extended by 6 months.

The extension was previously set to run for a year from 30th March 2020 but has now been updated to only apply for MOTs due between 30th March 2020 and 31st July 2020.

You can find the full guidance on the government website.

If your MOT is due on or after 1 August 2020 your MOT certificate will not be extended. You must book an MOT as usual.

At CarTakeBack we'll buy cars without an MOT and we'll collect your car free of charge from any location. You can get a no obligation, instant valuation for any car at CarTakeBack.com.
