Until any edict from the Government, this is the answer from DVSA

"Thank you for your email enquiry dated 20 March 2020, concerning an MOT.

I appreciate this is a difficult time for the whole country, at this moment in time there is no exemption or extension from MOT testing, or no contingency plan in place. If your vehicle MOT expires whilst you are self-isolating, then you are only able to drive the vehicle directly to/from a pre-booked MOT test after midnight on the date of expiry of the current certificate. After that time the vehicle must not be kept on a public road until it is re-tested and taxed etc.

If your local MOT garage is unable to accommodate you, you may need to look for one further afield.

Nothing has been released as to what will happen going forward, so for now it remains business as usual. The gov.uk website will be updated with all information as and when decisions have been made.

Find the latest COVID19 government guidelines on the GOV.UK website here.

I am sorry we cannot provide you with a more robust response at this present time."
