Motor Vehicles: Testing

Tim Farron
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he plans to change the required frequency of MOT tests for new vehicles.

Dr. Ladyman
We will be consulting shortly on options for the future conduct of the MOT scheme—and specifically about the frequency of testing—following a recommendation that we do so in the Davidson Review of the implementation of EU legislation. This consultation will include a full discussion of the potential advantages and disadvantages of making any change to test frequency.
