MOT after May 20th?.
Moorey:
Simply because there will be a large sudden increase in the number of vehicles that will not legally require a Mot and will continue to increase every year.
matthewmosse:
It's a fairly academic change really, the owner is still responsible for ensuring the vehicle is road legal every trip they take. Insurance assessors will still have the tyre tread gauge in hand as they get out of the vehicle.

But that happened when the pre 1960 no MOT rule came into force, probably even more vehicles than now, and there was no issue from insurers then. In fact when the 1960 rule came about it was a new thing, now its just a date change so old hat to insurers.
And as said before, an MOT only lasts for the moment its MOT'd, driving/riding home from the test something could break making the vehicle unsafe. Insurers know this.
Don't get me wrong, I've worked in MOTing and have seen some of the vehicles presented which makes me worry that these vehicles will now be used unchecked. But I don't think the insurance people will make an issue of the new no MOT date, the same as they didn't when it first came into force.
Moorey:
I hope your right. Only time will tell.
