Motor Vehicles: Testing

Answer: I expect to make an announcement soon about the timing and scope of a review of the MOT.No assessment has been made of the effect on employment in Scotland or on the economic impact in (a) Scotland and (b) Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency with regard to any potential changes to MOT tests.No estimate has been made of the number of MOT tests which will be carried out in Scotland each year or the likely change in the number of (a) MOT testers and (b) MOT test centres in Scotland with regard to any potential changes to MOT tests.With regard to the number of MOT testing stations, MOT tests conducted and MOT testers registered in each (a) parliamentary constituency and (b) local authority area in Scotland; the information requested is not processed in constituency or regional format and would invoke disproportionate cost.
