FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Mot rules could be eased to slash costs for drivers - Caught on Camera

Buyers and owners of new cars, vans, motorbikes and other vehicles could be permitted to push back their initial MOT by one year - as the Government plan to slash costs for drivers across the UK.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has announced that it has opened a consultation on proposals to allow certain vehicles in Great Britain to have their first MOT four years after registration - as opposed to the current three-year period in place.

Views on MOT frequency are also being sought after. At the time of writing, these are required every 12 months following a vehicle's first test.
