TimST2 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 My Fiesta ST's has as of 2 days ago - it's now due in October. I couldn't really care less about the MOT, it's missing the service that niggles a bit. It's on a service plan with Ford (so already paid for), and I'm normally fastidious about maintaining the service history on my cars. The only saving grace is that although it's going to go longer than a year between services, at least its well down on the mileage interval. Anyone else had their MOT extended yet?

Have you had an official extension? mine is due on the 18th and it still states that online, This is my first Service/MOT with this 5 year old ST, it was previously serviced by Ford but I have an independent garage on my street (re-opens Monday), I was tempted to use Ford but I want to do a few jobs myself, it's only due a minor service so I'll get that & MOT sorted locally this year.

Ah, it won't get automatically extended until 7 days before it runs out, still, I think I'll get mine sorted as I want the oil changing anyway. Like you I'm happy with the spacing of my car bills, got Tax in Feb, MOT in May and Insurance in August to spread the costs nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimST2 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Yeah, the MOT expiry only changed online recently as the date approached. I'll be getting mine serviced and MOT'd as soon as restrictions are eased and TrustFord is open again. I want to keep as close to the service schedule as possible and don't want the hassle of having to do them separately in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 My father/brother had their BMW due for MOT & service last month but it was obviously cancelled by the dealership. As it was the start of the lockdown my brother had it SORN'd. On the flip side, I had my service and MOT done at the beginning of March (normal due date) paid out for that plus extras (new brake discs, pads, lines etc.) and full year of insurance up front only to park it up and have driven it 3 times since. I would have normally paid for the full year of VED at the same time but ended up shifting it 6 months to October a couple of years ago. Its going to be busy for MOT garages come the end of the lockdown with at least two months of people that would have missed dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves me £50-odd as I know my car is road worthy regardless of having a certificate which is practically invalid as soon as you leave the garage forecourt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was due on the 18th, it had changed online until November, But I took it to my local independent garage this morning for it's MOT, oil Change & Spark Plugs, all done in 3 hours. Seems to be getting very busy at my garage, I bet a lot of people are flooding to garages now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
