Vehicle owners in Britain will be granted a six-month exemption from MoT testing as a result of the coronavirus epidemic

The Department for Transport said in a statement: “All cars, vans and motorcycles which usually would require an MoT test will be exempted from needing a test from 30 March.

"Vehicles must be kept in a roadworthy condition, and garages will remain open for essential repair work. Drivers can be prosecuted if driving unsafe vehicles.”
