Ooh, £30 contribution – and only for those with nearly-new cars. Nice one.
> It must be renewed once a year, at a cost of £54.85 for a car and £29.65 for a standard motorcycle.
This is wrong, this is the *maximum* amount that can be charged for an MOT.
Wasn’t there a proposal a while back to make MOTs every 2 years or something?
Fucking pointless, essentially giving someone who bought a new car £60 at the most.
Wasn’t there some discussion a few years back of changing MoT to every 2 years instead of every year?
If you can afford a car that new then you can afford the MOT.
I’ll be honest fellas I could do with skipping my 15th MOT more than my 1st.
Wait…..doesn’t this just benefit the people financially fortunate enough to be able to buy new cars while simultaneously putting poor people at a bigger financial disadvantage?
Or am I just reading this wrong…
I think I’m more concerned that 1 in 10 cars apparently fail their first MOT, which seems unbelievable. While that’s the case though, I’m against the idea.
Good way of saving money for those who have the finances for a new car.
If they really wanted to help, they could exempt the first year’s tax…
Wow forty quid. These people are literally the embodiment of mother theresa
Sure, the people who can afford a car straight off the forecourt, give them an extra year, once it’s scrap they’ll surely pass the savings onto the less fortunate forced to buy second hand
Crazy idea. Approx 40% of cars fail their first MOT. It’s usually on the basic stuff like bald tyres or knackered wiper blades. People just aren’t checking their cars any more. They rely on the MOT to tell them what’s worn-out.
