September MOT demand surge

We’re advising customers to book their September MOT early this year as the UK braces for an unprecedented surge in demand.

An estimated 3.4 million cars will require an MOT next month, according to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

The record-braking surge is driven by the high volume of new car sales from three years ago, with those vehicles now reaching their first MOT requirement.

Tim Benson, Oldfields Garage owner said: “We’ve handled busy MOT seasons in the past, but this year is shaping up to be exceptional.

“To make sure you’re not caught off guard by the surge in demand, we strongly recommend booking your MOT as early as possible to avoid the rush and any last-minute stress.”

To avoid the increased demand affecting your schedule, we strongly recommend booking your MOT now and as close to your expiry date as possible.

This will help us to manage the volume fairly for all our customers.  Simply follow this link to book your MOT and Service for a date as close to your expiry as possible.

Mr Benson said: “Drivers can quickly check their MOT expiry date by visiting the GOV.UK website.

“Simply go to the ‘check the MOT status of a vehicle’ page and enter your vehicle’s registration number.

“You can also sign up to receive free text or email reminders a month before your MOT is due for renewal.”

If you’ve accidentally missed your expiry date or find that our online bookings are full, don’t panic!

Please give us a call on 01568 612436 or send us an email and we’ll do our best to accommodate you wherever possible
