No date given in what I've read but the following will apply soon, so worth getting your car ready!
- Engine management lights must come on and go off correctly
- Windscreens will now only fail if the damage affects visibility
- Reversing lights will be tested on post-September 1 2009 vehicles
- ABS will be tested along with transmission shafts
- Brake fluid must be clear
- Fuel tank filler necks must be sound
With classic windscreens possibly being quite expensive to replace, this is a sensible amendment for us. The brake fluid requirement and the fuel tank filler neck are sensible additions; the latter particularly of note for those of you with the 1980's Bluebirds (as has been highlighted here in the past)

I don't know if anyone has needed to get an MOT since the COVID epidemic but it may be worth noting that DVLA are giving a 6 month extension to MOT's to reduce infection. This will only be applied in the last 7 days before the MOT expires. The info is on the gov page (although you have to look for it). This allows you to re-tax your car and continue using it legally if you can't get it booked in for an MOT. You are of course still responsible for maintaining it in a roadworthy condition.
