4-1-1 MOT consultation extended
20 February 2023
Consultation around DfT proposals to increase the period before a vehicle’s first MOT from three years to four have been extended from six weeks to nine. The new closing date is 22 March 2023.
Retailers and the NFDA have praised the extension. “It gives the industry more time to gather widespread information and crucial evidence from retailers to oppose the proposed changes to MOTs,” said NFDA chief executive Sue Robinson – who added the organisation is in the process of finalising its position on behalf of the industry.
“The extension to the consultation period allows the NFDA to have more time to discuss with our members and European counterparts to obtain insight and knowledge regarding their MOT testing policies, cross referencing this with ours and building on our evidence to counteract these proposed changes from government,” she added.
- The NFDA is urging retailers to sign a trade body petition to stop the 4-1-1 MOT. It needs 10k signatures to produce a government response; it is currently on just over 6k: http://bit.ly/3jemEHD
