MOT CONSULTATION

As you will no doubt be aware, The Department for Transport has commenced consultation on proposed and potential changes to the MOT Scheme.

The consultation covers many aspects, including but not limited to: y Changes to the MOT Test (i.e. Test Content & Equipment) y When the first MOT Test should be carried out (i.e. first test after 4 years instead of 3) y Frequency of subsequent MOT Tests (i.e. every second year instead of every year) y MOT Test Fees

The consultation is open until 01 March 2023 and the final outcome could have a significant effect on your business, whether or not you own or operate an MOT Testing Station.

As you would expect, The Scottish Motor Trade Association will be responding on behalf of our members. However, we encourage anyone with strong views on this subject to also respond in order to make those views known.

We would also be happy to receive your comments as it helps us to make sure that our response accurately reflects the views of our members. You can do that by sending your comments by email to david.innes@smta.co.uk
