The government will extend the deadline for the first MOT of new cars and motorcycles from 3 years to 4 years.

Bad move in my opinion.
It's fine if the motorist has annual services and pays attention to the weekly checks.
It's let down by the few motorists who do absolutely nothing as far as regards maintenance or weekly checks. I know a couple of people who bought brand new cars and still don't know how to open the bonnet or check tyre pressures.

I heard that that the government were going to do this a few years ago – it’s a long time coming. This change will bring us in line with most of Europe in terms of vehicle testing.
But MOT test garages are going to have to increase their fees as a result of losing over 50% of tests – and fail a greater % of cars to get the MOT failure repairs which they rely on.
