The Government has confirmed a six-month exemption from MOT testing for vehicle owners. All cars, vans and motorcycles which usually would require an MOT test will be exempted from needing a test from 30 March, although vehicles must be kept in roadworthy condition, and garages (including Listers Centres) will remain open for essential repair work. Drivers can be prosecuted if driving unsafe vehicles.
The exemption has been put into place to enable people to continue travelling to work where this absolutely cannot be done from home, or shop for necessities. Legislation will be introduced on 30 March and will come into immediate effect for 12 months, following a short consultation with key organisations. Drivers will still need to get their vehicle tested until the new regulations come into place, if they need to use it.
“We must ensure those on the frontline of helping the nation combat COVID-19 are able to do so.
“Allowing this temporary exemption from vehicle testing will enable vital services such as deliveries to continue, frontline workers to get to work, and people get essential food and medicine.
“Safety is key, which is why garages will remain open for essential repair work.”
