The UK government has launched a new consultation to “ensure MOTs remain fit for the future”, which could push back a car's first test to four years after initial registration
The UK government has launched a new consultation to “ensure MOT [tests] remain fit for the future”, which could involve extending the time between MOTs, and pushing back the date of a vehicle’s first test.
The consultation is also looking at changing the date of a new vehicle’s first MOT from three years since initial registration to four years. As part of the consultation, drivers have been asked to share their views on when the new first date for an MOT should be, how making the change would affect businesses and whether any other changes would be introduced. France, Italy, Portugal and Spain already undertake roadworthiness tests four years after a car’s initial registration.
The government also said EVs could be used to judge whether new regulations should be introduced to take measures against excessively loud engines.
