Coronavirus (COVID-19): MOTs for cars, vans and motorcycles due from 30 March 2020 - GOV.UK

What will happen if your car, van or motorcycle’s MOT due date is on or after 30 March 2020, including what you need...  

 

That’s great, as I had two cars and a motorcycle to do in April and May. Not often you get to save well over £100 in MOT fees. Although the Road Tax is still a rip off considering the limited use we’re getting from our vehicles at present. It would have been a nice touch to have scrapped that tax in the interim too.

You guys are missing a trick with not driving older cars.  Anything pre-1979 is MOT and Tax exempt. 

 

Im £150 a year for my Charger in fully comp insurance with the right to the vehicle should it be a write off.

I used to run CJ5s and 7s before the exemption was on the go for them. Brilliant towing machines and wish I’d kept them[emoji1303]

Wow, very cool. Always fancied one of them as well. Regarding towing Im seriously thinking of getting a late 50's to early 70's US Pick-Up for Towing my Mill and maybe a Log Processor if I ever get one. Not fussed which, maybe a Chevy as they are everywhere but Im always bought Mopars and I know them better, we'll see. Need a exit strategy as this Oil Games looking a bit screwed just now.
