Looking for a new (to me, but still second hand) car but not wanting to limit the search.
I've seen a car for sale that i'd be quite interested in. The one and only thing that's holding me back is the power output.

Road Tax Confusion
Our road tax expired end June 2020; however we MOT'd our car as usual on 4 June. We have not received any 'reminder' about Road Tax, so was it due end of June, or do we still get 6 months 'grace', as if we had not bothered to MOT it?
