A consultation on the planned changes is in progress
Since being introduced in the 1960s, the MOT test has been a staple on the calendar for most car owners. The annual vehicle check often picks up issues or potential problems with a car's roadworthiness. However, changes could be on the horizon.
In an interview with Express.co.uk, Dorry Potter, an expert at National Scrap Car, said: "MOTs play a vital role in making sure vehicles on our roads are safe and well-maintained. Though the Government's plan is well intended, moving the MOT to biennial rather than annual could actually cost drivers more in the long run with higher repair bills."According to Dorry, not having an MOT every year "may mean that defects will go unnoticed for longer".
On the second point of changes to the proposed date at which a new vehicle is MOTd, the expert said that this "isn’t such a bad idea". However, they added that "there should be a requirement for high mileage vehicles especially to be tested annually."
