>> However the DVSA did help me out and have amended the certificate with no fuss
Same just happened with me. Sent off an email to the DVSA and they've amended the date on the certificate.
Apparently the COVID 6 month extension only gets added a couple of days before your vehicle's MOT expiry date. Why they don't add it up to a month before is anyone's guess?
My bike was due on the 19th July, not realising that 6 months was automatically applied if the MOT ran out before the end of July. However I did check a week before and it still showed it the expiry date as the 19th July. I should have done a bit more homework.
Slightly annoying the garage who did the MOT didn't tell me either until after they had MOT'd it and I queried why the new MOT date was incorrect.
In some respects I'm glad I've got it done now. I wouldn't have fancied taking the bike for an MOT in January. Brrrrr.
