Car garages gear up for 'Super September' of MOTs: Experts predict surge in demand for vehicle safety tests because of Covid backlog

Experts are predicting a surge in demand for vehicle safety tests next month – which is being dubbed ‘Super September’ – because of the pandemic.

But it meant a lot of drivers deferred having the checks done until September 2020 – with the knock-on effect that high numbers of vehicles now need the annual test in the same month this year.

The AA’s head of roads policy Jack Cousens said: ‘With more than 5.5million cars deferring an MOT it is crucial that they are tested to ensure they are safe to use. 

'MOT centres are already feeling the strain and with “Super September” looming, savvy drivers can get ahead of the game. Don’t delay, book today.

‘Usually people leave booking their MOT to the last possible moment. Drivers won’t have that luxury this time.’

Drivers can be fined up to £1,000 for using a vehicle without a valid MOT.
