6 month MOT extension if MOT is due after 30th March

My MOT  runs out on the 14th April but I am due to take it in today at four.

Best to cancel for 6 months free MOT?

depends how you feel about it, as to how safe your car is  , and if there is a MOT cancellation charge
if you want to keep journeys to a minimum ,you could leave it
the tester may have a cough ,you might have covid 19 and feel fine 
but you just replied anyway 

This move must be manner from heaven for people who own a wreck that has no chance of passing the test.......and I hope I don't meet them on the road.

The Signum is is good order though so I'm happy to exploit the opportunity.

Terry can now drive around in his rusty omega for a further six month.

Mine is due in October and wifey's in November.

You never know what you can catch from a knuckle-dragging mechanic.

The RRS is due in September already booked in for August the 12th along with new front discs & pads, Scooby had a straight pass in February.

Just my luck, worked like a bastard on the wife's car all weekend after if failed on Friday, retested Monday

Woohoo.

Got one that expires in early Sept and the Omega at the end of July, so no immediate benefit, but gives me almost a year to ponder getting two death-traps road legal   

Now I wonder if they can be persuaded to extend car tax by 6 months too - in order to avoid everyone queuing up at the post office with their documents  Where's that pigs might fly emoji.

Do people still do that?

I haven't for years now so easy on line, as is transferring or retaining a personal number plate.

I've had a few customers who had mots booked for April ring me to say they still want them done,worried about leaving it 6months longer.

Mine was due in July, but seeing as how it needs a grand spent just to cover whatever is known to be wrong with it (and make it run), it will never be on the road again...

ask Terry for advice before you buy another car Al 

[Doctor Gollum]

I paid £460 for it, mechanically it is perfect... drove beautifully. Got a week out of it and the electronic ignition shat itself. Not worth fixing. Shit happens, life moves on...

can you open the module ,see if it's got wet ? fixable ? if your going to bin it anyway

[Doctor Gollum]

The ignition module is definitely toast, it's all the modules that it talks to that may/may not have been changed when a second hand one was coded to the car... And the more digging, the more suspect the car becomes.

It was bought as a project with a few obvious issues (screen and some trim issues) with the intention of MoTing it and chopping it in for a keeper later in the summer... Bat Flu has stuffed that plan.
