I think you are missing the point. Every car which needs an MOT after 30th March will be given a free 6 month extension on the MOT's due date. Mine (I think) runs out on the 29th May. My 29th May 2019 MOT will now remain valid until 29th November. My 29th May 2019 MOT rather than being a 12 month MOT, changed to become an 18 month MOT because of the virus.

I agree- the MOT stations will have a lean time for the next 6 months.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
