According to this you cannot book anything online other than HGV or trailer.

MOTs seem to be restarting.  I've had a reminder letter in for one of my cars, was due mid July.  That would have been its natural MOT due date.

Watching the MOT dates for my other car and my dads and FILs it looks like they're realligning those that got exemptions back to the month they would originally have been due - presumably to keep the spread across the year right.

Dates are booked up a month+ in advance currently, so if you do get a reminder notification get on to the site and book.  I got a date for late july but i've been checking every morning online and today got a cancellation for this Sunday in Newry (which also suggests they're working overtime).

Did mine back in Feb. I assumed they were more or less back to normal from then on...

I dont think they're back to normal yet.  Theres been some happening, but not all. 

I've subsequently got an extension on my other two and both my dad and FIL got extensions in that timeframe on theirs.

This particular car would originally have been due in the month of July in previous years whereas the others have now got extensions forward to their original months.

Mine was originally due in March 20, then it got extended to July 20, then January 21, then March 21, currently July 21 and still no reminder so expecting to be extended for that additional month to august 21. So almost 2.5 years since I had my last mot.
