I just made one for the Honda, 1st of may.
Nope.Can anyone clarify this for me.. if I have a car that’s MOT ran out in November can I book a test and it’ll get an exemption or is it only cars that have a more recent expiry date? The car is road worthy from the best of my knowledge and was wanting to get it on the road again.
Nonsense. My Anni was up in November, booked Sunday night just past, got one for Monday and the exemption was showing on the system on Tuesday, car taxed on Wednesday no problem. MOT now runs out 4th of August.Nope.
If car is out of MOT it won’t get an exception, well that was a case when exemptions were due to the lifts cracking before places closed due to covid-19.
Can’t see it being different now tho but can try lol
Might be changed not with centres Actually completely closed. Before hand a tester in Enniskillen was saying they weren’t doing that as any **** could get anything piece of ***** mot’dNonsense. My Anni was up in November, booked Sunday night just past, got one for Monday and the exemption was showing on the system on Tuesday, car taxed on Wednesday no problem. MOT now runs out 4th of August.
Same here. For example, a guy is offering me a car which hasn’t been MOT’d since Feb 2019. He’s claiming that he has applied for an MOT today and has been given a three month “extension”.The MOT Centres aren’t getting any info from above them. I’m in complete confusion regarding certain aspects of MOTing and exceptions and no one seems to have definitive answers to my queries.
MOT expired Feb 2019. However it also says it can take up to 5 days for any changes to be shown, and the owner of said vehicle has only applied for the MOT today, with a test date for 5th June.What does it say when you put the reg into here?
Yea in my head that’s how it works as well, but there are people in this very thread who are saying different?Then I very much doubt they will get an extension as the vehicle needs a valid MOT to extend onto. I noticed from that my old car is showing as expired from the 18th so I would believe the 5 days would be entirely true. No idea where it is or who owns it now.
I’d be keen to hear the outcome too! Lol The gov.ni website is as clear as mud. It says one thing and then contradicts itself later. If it doesn’t contradict itself then it leaves large loop holes which may be exploited.Huh. That's news to me. I can only assume it can be applied only to cars that have expired MOTs in the past few months and not for example, cars that have failed their last MOT visit. I'd be keen to hear the outcome of your example above.
Def notThere appears to be absolutely no pattern to the extensions.
It's not in any way designed to be a replacement for a test. If one was cynical, they'd say it was only to allow you to tax your car, ie, fulfills the legal requirements that way.Yea in my head that’s how it works as well, but there are people in this very thread who are saying different?
@purplea4T for example states he had a car that’s MOT expired in November and he has got a TEC after applying for a test less than two weeks ago? And that he has taxed the car the day after Applying for the test?
I’m not suggesting for one moment his car is unsafe, I’ve seen his cars and have no doubt that it is safe, however there is the potential for any piece of scrap to now have a TEC and technically deemed road worthy. I know the TEC is only temporary, but it’s long enough to be involved in an accident and how would that scenario play out?
