The Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps has announced that vehicles which are due an MOT from 30 March 2020 will be given an automatic six-month extension.
On twitter he said
Given the circumstances I’m granting an MOT temporary exemption so that if your MOT is due from 30th March 2020 you will automatically receive a SIX-month extension. However, you must still keep your car in a roadworthy condition and garages will remain open if you need repairs.
