MoT testing frequency retained

Published: 04:16PM Feb 16th, 2012
By: Mau Spencer

In an unexpected statement from the Department for Transport, the government has conceded to and taken on board, the strong opinion from a wide variety of sources that the current frequency of MoT testing is appropriate to the UK’s needs and will be retained at one year, rather than the two year period that was being considered.

 

Key to this reversal of Road Safety Minister Mike Penning’s recent statements about proposed changes was the wealth of data and opinion given by trade bodies. This was supported by road safety, environmental and consumer groups.
