CORONA – FAQS

Corona Virus FAQ’s CARS AND VANS

As we come out of lock down and start getting used to “new normal” many of us still have questions about how the impact of Coronavirus  will affect us and our  businesses.

If your income has been affected by the disruption the Leasing providers are offering a range of solutions on an individual basis such as payment deferrals, contract extensions etc.

Thank fully many dealerships are now open again, operating within guidelines of course . You can now take delivery of a new car or van and have your car serviced so things are starting to return to some sort of normal.

We have UPDATED the list of the most common questions we are being asked by our customers.

My MOT is due to expire – please see the updated link below.

The Government have confirmed that MOT tests due on cars, motor cycles and light vans after 30 March 2020 will automatically be extended for 6 months, however it is your responsibility as the driver to keep the vehicle in a road worthy condition as you can be prosecuted for driving an unsafe vehicle. This extension is due to end on 1 August so any vehicles with an MOT due after that must have it carried out in the usual way.
