Can't see moving from 3 to 4 years for the first MOT will benefit anyone? Then yearly, so meddling for the sake of it?

At moment they wanna move from state testing - to private garage testing and they don't have enough private garages that wanna play with a UK "BT" postcode. MOT testing in Northern Ireland (part of the UK) is in a mess. |

Does anyone know the actual reason that NI has government run MOT centres? I've always wondered why they went a different way

I don't trust anything that comes out of the factory gates, not until it has been independently inspected and rectified by the garage-trade. The sort of people running cars up to 4years old are not going to be as reliable on vehicle weekly checks as those running older vehicles, so they need their "hands holding" (to be as polite as possible) a lot more. |

Nothing changes for my fleet, 1 - 1 - 1
2 - 2 - 2 would be the ultimate scrape scheme going forward m- cost of repairs outweigh value after that length of period.
There's talk of turning Crewe in to little Amsterdam - cycles only allowed in town, they've knocked half of the town centre down leaving pawn shops, charity shops, coffee shops and not much else (even W H Smiths are throwing in the towel and that contains the town centre Post Office these days).

Signed…. Can’t understand why people don’t take safety seriously…. Because it cost's money, and everyone would be driving volvos. |

I like the idea of 4/1/1 better than 3/2/2New cars tend to go to dealerships to keep warranty in the first three years (at least someone is looking at the cars). MOT every two years for older stuff is just suicide - a lot of people don't do anything to a car - until it fails the MOT or just stops working (grinds to a halt). When you think about it - a super low mileage sub 4yr old car - would only really have tyre and lighting failures if you were unlucky. -----------
Six month CV19 extension was not that bad - as a repairer failures were not horrific (but people were not using the cars and adding normal mileage). I did note when we started testing again - my monthly tyre bill went up. ---------- MOT testing in NI is a mess - they suspended testing at one point as all the MAHA lifting ramps cracked the welds do to shaker plates (or overuse?). |

3-1-1 for me it's just the government desparately trying to cling on to power stating their saving households £50 over 2 years, not costing them anything, garages have to stand it, yoy local amazon sprinter delivery van will have clocked up 250k by then, of course it'll be like new still - not have your say, open to all www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/D7M1RW/ |

Pressure is on with the NI issue - they not got capacity to test all the cars - so they moving to reduce the amoutn of tests needed - this gonna have knock on effect for the indie trade in the UK mainland. |
