Extending new vehicle's first MOT from 3 years to 4 years

The Department for Transport is seeking views on whether the age a vehicle gets its first MOT should be increased from 3 to 4 years.

Options being looked at

The options being proposed are:

• to keep the current period for vehicles requiring a first MOT at 3 years, with no change

• to increase the age all vehicles get their first MOT from 3 to 4 years

• to increase the age cars and motorcycles get their first MOT from 3 to 4 years, but keeping it at 3 years for vans in classes 4 and 7
