Re: Car servicing and MoT
I registered my car a few days ago and after paying my Compulsory Third Party insurance (CTP) it occurred to me to check on the RMS web site that the rego had been renewed (free for pensioners).The rego had not been renewed because my car was now 5 years old (I hadn't realised it was that old) and had to have a rego inspection (like the MOT). I drove up to a local garage to see if they still did this, the bloke was very nice asked if I could leave it for an hour and he would get it done as I was only a block from my home I was quite happy to do that.
The eSafety Check says it cost $42 but he only charged me $40 - I don't know how that works.
I checked on the RTA web site half an hour later and the vehicle was registered for another year. Job done.

How the 6-month extension workshttps://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavi...-30-march-2020
This means that:
- your vehicle will still have a valid MOT certificate for an extra 6 months
- you can still tax your vehicle - you might need to wait to do this until later in the month if both your MOT and vehicle tax run out this month
- your insurance will still be valid
- your vehicle’s record will be updated so the police can see you have a valid MOT
You will not get a new paper MOT certificate with the new expiry date on it.

Re: Car servicing and MoT
My MOT is due 23 July - I know the 6mths extension applies, but feel I don't want to wait.I always have a service at the same time as the MOT and July is a better month financially .
Every month after July is house/car insurances, C/H service, birthdays etc - ie financially crap!
If I did take advantage of the extension, I'm assuming the MOT would be from the extended time month rather than this July?

However, check with your garage first.

Yes Omah, that's what I assumed. Seems the logical thing doesn't it, but these days....

Hi
You are correct.
It starts from the date of your new MOT.
