DVLA/Car tax/MOT

I have emailed the DVLA about this problem, but just wanted a few opinions.I have a Toyota Aygo, which does nor require road tax to be paid.  However, I have to go through the taxing system (usually online) each year...fair enough.I had the car booked in for an MOT and service in March, but then cancelled because of the Coronavirus … distancing.  But had heard that the MOT has been extended for 6 months...coolGot a letter today Last Chance!!!I have no problem paying for my MOT (which I think will be fine) but I don't want to go to the garage and have to use the bus.And my car doesn't need to pay road tax!!Any opinions??  Thanks x

Any car that needed its MOT renewed after 1st April has been given a 6 month extension although its beholding on the owner to keep it in safe condition. If your MOT expired b4 1st April then you do need to get it done.

Thanks Andy, I now realise that you're right.  I still really don't want to go to the garage, but guess I'll have to!!

Wimbkedon park Honda but I think they are only doing urgent works for key workers. Might do MOTs for those that expired b4 31st March.On MOTs dont think anyone is doing them if they expire post 1st April as they are automatically extended for 6 months.

Wadhams in Putney are still open, I always go to them, family run business and very good.
