Proposal: MOT every two years...

[Milkyway]

The Government is proposing to introduce a bi- annual MOT, with new cars being extended from three years to four before their first one.
Apparently, cars these days are more reliable & better built.
This is so that ‘Joe Public’ can save their £54 to help with the current crisis.

Most organisations have said that it’s a terrible & dangerous idea.
I wonder what the MOT test centres & garages think.

This has been doing the rounds for years, nothing new.

It works ok in Germany, having TüV every two years.

Just had a thread search, seems like this has been mooted about since 2006 it seems.

But agreed... basic car maintenance & checks should be done regularly anyway.
( or run the risk of points / hefty fines.)
