Motor Vehicles: Testing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what inspections have been completed on garages performing MOT tests relating to diesel particulate filters since 26 October 2014.

Every MOT tester has to apply the standards set out within the inspection manual when inspecting vehicles fitted with diesel particulate filters.

If any issues have arisen during these visits, all staff at the garages have been made aware of the requirements.
