    Just because people have a 6 month extension does not stop them having MOT's.
    But the up side is you are going to be really busy come August/September

    Not very helpful if the business doesn't last until then.

    Looks like you are in the same boat as most, and a better boat than some. Be glad you aren't a landlord.

    Good job the government gave you a cheque for £10k-£25k the equivalent profit to you of doing at least between 400 to over a 1000 MOTs, a business rates holiday and is paying 80% of your wage bill whilst your staff sit at home.
