Detail
We are seeking views on whether the first date for a MOT test should be changed.
We are keen to understand:
- when people think the first date should be
- how making a change to this date will affect businesses
- whether we should introduce any other changes to MOT testing
We will use this evidence to inform updates to policy, guidance, best practice and other policy tools across government.
