Yep, seen it myself on the BBC website, selfishly, it might even let the MOT place that has my car for set up get round to looking at it as at the moment, they are short staffed and crazy busy doing MOT's

Mot extension

Just a word of warning for those people considering using the 6 month M.O.T. extension granted by the government, you may have to tell your insurers, your insurers are insuring a road worthy car, if it is involved in an incident and is out of M.O.T they may require it to be checked, the M.O.T extension is the governments decision ,but the government is not your insurer, just be aware.

There should be no need to tell your insurer. Your vehicle still has a valid MOT, so satisfies the insurer's requirements and you are always required to maintain your vehicle in a roadworthy condition whenever it is being used. The insurers rules don't say anything about how often an MOT needs to be carried out, only that it is current - frequency is up to the government and there have been numerous suggestions of permanently extending it to 2 years, as is the norm in much of the EU.
