MOT to be axed!!

(1/3) > >>

LandRoger:
So the Gov are axeing the MOT testing of pre 60s vehicals as from November this year ,does this mean that Series 2s are going to jump up in price ? the Classic car movement are up in arms about the axeing of the test they say that all will be well untill a complete wreck is responsible for a road death then the Gov will have a kneejerk reaction and do something silly to keep the classics off the roads,

lambert:
Ain't that the truth.

Range Rover Blues:
Part of their arguament is that is you can keep a 52 year old car running you probably know far more about how it works than an MOT inspector anyway.

An MOT has never been any proof that the car was roadworhty for more than 5 minutes anyway.  Maybe they'll see sense and re-introduce the rolling exmeption on road tax.

No? well I can live in hope.

Now you are just being silly.

Weasel:
Maybe there is a argument for bi anual test, free tax no MOT cheap insurance this will attract  certain people who dont care about such things, what will be the insurance companies response maybe they will start to treat classic cars as unsafe because there is no check at all
