As of today my MGB GT no longer had to have an MOT
The new rules mean that cars over 40 years are now able to registered as MOT exempt. Slightly annoyed that it requires me to visit a post office to do so, and then presumably I will have to wait till it gets to the system to allow me to "Tax" it for free as I usually do?
I drive the car less than a few hundred miles a year and do all my own maintence so think that for classics owners its a great step. As paying for an MOT that says the same thing each year is slightly annoying
I think the rules on pass levels look a little bit more complex to work out and not being able to drive a car after the checks if it faisl is going to limit repair options for home mechanics.
How long till garages offer "Pre MOT tests" to allow cars to be checked unofficially to allow people to fix their own cars again?
Diesel cars are getting a harder time with DPFs being a named item and any smog at all is a fail.
Overall, the changes look interesting in some cases but perhaps not thought out well in others.
What say you motors?
