MOT demand surged before lockdown
Last week set new records for MOTs as motorists rushed to book their cars in before the second lockdown.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were record-breaking days for MOT and service bookings.
According to data from BookMyGarage.com, there was a vast increase in bookings following the government’s announcement of lockdown 2.0.
Karen Rotberg, co founder of BookMyGarage.com, said: “Consumer behaviour has fluctuated constantly throughout the pandemic, but it’s clear that motorists still want to get their cars serviced and MOT’d as normal despite the November lockdown. While sales remain suppressed and showrooms are all but closed, dealers can grow the soon-to-be vital segment two and three vehicle parc, improving market penetration versus the fast-fits.”
