Written question asked by Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 10 November 2011. It was answered by Earl Attlee (Conservative) on Wednesday, 16 November 2011.


Transport: MoT Scheme

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have plans to raise the age at which a vehicle first requires an MoT certificate from three to four years.
Answer

The Government intend to review the MoT test scheme. We have no preconceptions about the outcome of a review; the aim will be to strike the right balance between vehicle safety and the burden imposed on motorists by MoT test requirements. We will carry out a full consultation to allow interested groups to submit views and give evidence, which will be announced in due course.
