Warranties - Using Club Influence for Members

I cannot see this type of travel as falling within the definition of essential, although it is quite possible that motor vehicles will still need MoTs. Nothing heard yet about what steps the DoT will take on them.

My car is due an MOT. I certainly can't argue it's  essential, particularly as we have a second and can walk to the local COOP. I think you are allowed to drive it for an MOT without one.🤔 It can therefore sit on the drive until restrictions are lifted. I will just have to charge the battery occasionally, if it goes on for months. Not sure of the legality if it was parked on the road. I assume in the fullness of time some information will be forthcoming.

Hi I am in same position, heard this morning garages can stay open so hoping the garage will collect and drop off after service and test.

I looked at parking it up on drive like you but think you still have to sorn the vehicles tax which is done on line then retax when ready to take car to be mot 

What a lot of messing about, sure someone will correct me if I have got it wrong I also think a vehicle cannot be kept on the road legally without a mot certified 

I have posted on another thread about MOTs the email i recieved states that commercial and public service vehicles are suspended for three months and instructions for private vehicles to follow very soon

I can only find info about approval tests being suspended, not MOTs. What is the source of this, please, JV?

I assume that caravan dealers will be closing and as such no where to have your outfit serviced? Will mobile services still be allowed? I would think not.

So surely the likes of Swift will give some leeway on warrenty rules?

It is the Min of Transport  website

I spoke with an owner of a Bailey caravan today and his caravan was due in for a service in the next week or so. The local dealers have closed their workshop but informed him that they, the dealers, have been told that warranty will be extended due to the crisis. His dealer has optimistically booked him in for a new service in early June.

The dealer reassured him that they have confirmation of his original booking but I do wonder about those that have mobile services and/or do not have their service booked yet.

I also wonder if Bailey will issue an official statement.

OH tells me that we have had an email from our dealer to say that the manufacturers have extended their time frame for services where one had been booked prior to last nights announcement.

According to BBC News Website, the position on MOTs for Cars, Vans and other private vehicles is 'under review' [perhaps they're expecting an announcement soon? Otherwise Beeb would say 'Car MOT requirements remain in force'?]

Our local garage said this morning that it is currently business as normal in respect of cars and vans until they hear otherwise. Therefore, we either have to SORN or MOT them to stay legal.

Found it, JV, it’s the DVSA section of gov.uk.
