MOTs are Back! Book an MOT in North London

The 6 month MOT holiday is now over – avoid the MOT queue

Back in March the government announced that there would be an exemption on having a car or van MOT test due to the COVID-19 lockdown. As an independent North London garage, we are aware that many drivers may not have remembered to take their car, be it a Ford, Vauxhall, Fiat or Mini for its next MOT.  

Revised MOT due dates

MOT expiry 31^st March – Now due 30^th September
MOT expiry 30^th April – Now due 31^st October
MOT expiry 31^st May – Now due 30th November
MOT expiry 30^th June – Now due 31^st December
MOT expiry 31^st July – Now due 31^st January

It’s also very important to understand that the 6 month MOT exemption is now over. Therefore, if any car or vans’ original MOT ran out on or after 1^st August 2020 the owner will need to ensure they have booked their MOT test. 

The return to the original rules came into effect on 1^st August this year which means there could be many thousands of car owners in and around London that have still not got around to having their car’s or van’s MOT carried out. 

Despite the MOT exemption, the government guidelines still made it clear that all cars must be safe and roadworthy before being taken out on the public roads and they relied on the owners carrying out a range of basic checks.
