Northern Ireland: NI Direct. GOV.UK Vehicle Tests: Temporary Exemption Certificates

 
Vehicles that were first registered between 1 June 2020 and 31 May 2021 or between 1 June 2018 and 31 May 2019, and have a valid Northern Ireland MOT will be given a Temporary Exemption Certificate (TEC ).
This means they will not need a vehicle test (MOT) for 12 months from the date their current certificate expires.
