Motor Vehicles: Testing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what role the EU had in promoting the exemption of 40 year-old cars from MOT inspections; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

From 16 September to 2 November 2016 we consulted over proposals to implement European Directive 2014/45 on periodic tests for roadworthiness. The Directive provided that Member States could exempt vehicles over 30 years old, provided they had not been substantially changed. Our proposals were developed following an informal consultation in 2014.
