MOT's to be suspended for [up to] 6 months
Yes but I'm not a key worker so it's an unnecessary journey. For me it seems sensible to take the extension whatever, unless you think your car may be unroadworthy.
Never thought I'd hear the words 'Kwik fit for an MOT and no issues' in the same sentence!

Surprised you took the infection risk, considering your car is only 3 years old and you would have got another 6 months free at the Government's grace. Not exactly an essential journey .
Brooklands have been contacting me almost weekly for the last few months (my MOT was 6th May). I've declined their offers to make a non essential journey and pay for something I don't now need until November.

1. Kwik Fit is less than a mile from my house and I dropped it off while food shopping at Sainsbury's next door. No special journey was made.
2. The MOT was paid online and the closest I came to any person was throwing my car keys to them from a few meters. I think the infection risk was far less than that encountered at the shops.
3. The MOT was done while the original Porsche Warranty was still valid. I wanted to see if there were any faults that needed addressing. Not sure Porsche would allow a six-month warranty extension like the Government!
4. Yes I am a Keyworker and yes I need to travel to work some days (but not all)

Porsche are giving customers an extra 3 months warranty extension for free if existing warranty expires before end of May

Ti Rich - a few very good points! Maybe a few too many assumptions in previous post without a clue as to the facts. Good info about how easy it was to sort at Kwik Fit.
Back to MOT’s, I’ve 2nd vehicle that was in storage & on a SORN, I’ve just tried to tax it as it needs to be moved, but the MOT expired on Mar 26th, 6 month grace period only covers MOTs that expired after 30th March. I believe legally you can drive to an MOT appointment but where I live currently I’ve no options. In limbo.

You can drive it on SORN as long as it’s for an MOT booked appointment. Solution, book an appointment at a site near your chosen location for storage, if you choose not to have it carried out, store it and cancel the appointment, sorted. here to helpAlfanut wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 7:03 pm

Sorry - I seem to have touched a nerve. I made no reference to key workers.
For the record, now that you mention it, I'm a key worker too.
