    I think Iain has got the definitive answer.
    Like yours mine is due in May and is still shown as the current expiry date.
    I guess when you get to withing a month the system is updated

    Mines still showing June as well. Might have to get it tested in Alston or Rothbury :) Honest officer it’s the closest testing station to me that’s open ;)

    Hopefully this quote from DVLA should resolve the uncertainty:

    How the 6-month extension works
    Your vehicle’s MOT expiry date will be automatically extended by 6 months if it’s eligible. This will be done about 7 days before it’s due to expire.
    This means that:
    • your vehicle will still have a valid MOT certificate for an extra 6 months
    • you can still tax your vehicle - you might need to wait to do this until later in the month if both your MOT and vehicle tax run out this month
    • your insurance will still be valid
    • your vehicle’s record will be updated so the police can see you have a valid MOT
    and then:

    What you need to do
    Your vehicle’s MOT expiry date will be updated about 7 days before it was originally due to expire.
    1. Three days before your MOT was originally due to expire, check the expiry date has been extended.

    2. If the expiry date has not been extended 3 days before it was due to expire, email [email protected].
