There is currently a consultation taking place to review the potential extension of the first MOT test from three to four years, Richard Evans, head of technical services at webuyanycar comments:

An MOT ensures that brakes, tyres and other critical vehicle parts meet minimum legal requirements which is crucial for the safety of all road users.

“Delaying an MOT could in fact land drivers with higher costs in the long run. Spotting any problems as soon as possible helps drivers know exactly what is going on with their car to avoid unexpected servicing bills, especially with living costs on the rise.

“MOTs are not only an important indicator of how road worthy your car is but it also highlights the emissions a car produces which is particularly relevant given the introduction of more ULEZ zones across the country. Our MOT checklistcan help to ensure your car is legal and ready to get you from A to B safely.”
