Government to review MOT test frequency

Transport department whip Earl Attlee has said that the Government will review the need for annual MOT tests for cars and vans more than three years old.

In a written reply he told Tory Lord Marlesford that the issue would be looked at later in the year. Under EU rules, cars and light goods vehicles must be tested no later than four years after first registration and then at least every two years.

The BVRLA supports the idea of a review and is also lobbying for a change in legislation that would remove the need for one or two-year-old heavy commercial vehicles to have an annual test.
