6month extension for MOT's

[mik]

So now this has been announced..... I don't need my MOT done for the end of April.

But, the car is already booked in for annual service + MOT in a couple of weeks...... I get them done together at the indie.

Service schedule is 9k miles or 1yr - whichever comes first. Car has only done 4k miles this year.

So - delay both for 6months based on current situation and the fact the mileage covered is so far below the service mileage trigger, or get service done to keep history squeaky-clean?

It wouldn't put me off as a buyer being 6 months late but well within the mileage, more so given the intervals are just 9k miles.

That’s kinda where my head is too Carlos....

The BMW's MoT expires on Monday which is when the change comes in, so I just about made it.

I was going to just SORN it for a bit anyway as I doubt I'll be using it for a while.

I just checked my wife’s car reminded by the MoT news... , it expired 2 weeks ago.

she forgets it every year, last time it was about 6 months expired when I checked it for her.

She’s got a cancellation booking now and is combining it with a trip to the supermarket next door to the test centre - not ideal in this situation though.

I’m setting an alarm for next year.

I have them in Outlook, but also signed up to this:

Civic is due April so this is a bit of a relief. One of the bikes due its annual service but as its not going anywhere that's no great panic either.

Thankfully it’s passed without any issues - otherwise that would have turned into more hassle!

MOT is due in September. Hope/expect things to have improved by then but even if the extension is still in place I’ll probably still get it done. Also because I expect Porsche may request it in relation to the warranty.

You could just set up an email reminder.

I honestly can’t believe the risk you are imposing on the general public with your law-breaking though.

I've not broken any laws?
