Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy to extend the MOT eligibility period for vehicles that are due an MOT before 2 December 2020 when the owner of that vehicle is clinically vulnerable.

At present there are no plans to further extend MOT due dates, for either the public as a whole or those who are clinically vulnerable. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency have published guidance on how to safely conduct an MOT test while adhering to social distancing measures, and they continue to work with the industry on reducing the potential risk of transmission of COVID-19.

The Department continues to monitor the situation as it evolves and any further changes made to MOT expiry dates will be made based on the evidence available.
