What are the new MOT test rules and who is exempt?

The MOT test is conducted essentially to ensure the protection of drivers while driving on the road and to make sure your car is in the good condition to hit the road. The MOT in Warrington is supervised by the local committees and the administration itself. If you are operating a vehicle without an up-to-date MOT history, it is against the law. It will indicate your vehicle insurance is invalid, and you would not be able to refresh your tax record as well. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, many changes are executed across the country. And also, MOT rules are modified with the altered protocols. Nevertheless, lockdown means are gently being rolled back, and many car owners may inquire if anything has changed related to MOT checks.

Take a look at the following points if you want to know the new MOT test rules:

• As per the information, MOT expiry dates were earlier extended by six months for all vehicles such as cars, vans or motorcycles, which were due for a test on or after 30 March 2020. But according to new rules, any cars, vans or motorcycles which are due for MOT tests from today, will be needed to get a test pass.

• As the rules have changed from today, those who are qualified for the six-month extension can however use that extension. It means if your vehicle was due an MOT test between 30 March and 31 July, your MOT test is still valid. Your history will show that your MOT is valid till the six months.
