The AA is urging drivers to book their MOT extensions as soon as possible to avoid a fine of up to 1,000.
The motoring association is referring to next month as "Super September" as they anticipate a flurry of requests after 5.5 million drivers legally delayed their MOT during the Coronavirus lockdown.
September is traditionally the month when most MOT extensions fall - and the AA has urged drivers to book their renewal as soon as possible as they deal with the increasing demand.
