How the 6-month extension works

Your vehicle’s MOT expiry date will be automatically extended by 6 months if it’s eligible.

For all MOT’s due before 31st July

Your MOT certificate will not be extended if your vehicle’s MOT expires on or after 1 August 2020. You must book an MOT as usual.

This will be done about 7 days before it’s due to expire.

When you have a MOT test done you will not get a new paper MOT certificate with the new expiry date on it now, you can go online and print it off yourself you will need the registering certificate (log book) to do so, please click on link below to go to the website.

Click on MOT history and then click View test certificate, enter 11 digits (document reference number) from the vehicle log book/vehicle registration certificate V5C and print certificate.
