We think we’ve heard the last of the Government’s plans to move to a every two years MoT for cars more than three years old. However, it is widely reported that the idea was raised again at a recent Cabinet meeting as part of ideas to defuse the cost of living crisis.
While sentiment is welcome, ideas are not. How about solving Fuel costs first instead of rekindling an idea that had previously been dropped for safety reasons? Because those bases still exist.
According to the AA, switching to MoTs every two years could increase maintenance costs, while it would also hit the garage business, which relies on remediation for nearly a portion of it. their three damaged car numbers. MoTs.
During difficult times, car owners may not be able to get their vehicle serviced as often as they should, making the MoT test all the more important to ensure a vehicle can stay on the road.
Let’s hope this bonkers idea goes the way it usually does when it’s put up – into the crate!
Meanwhile, used cars are always worth celebrating and that’s exactly what we’re doing in this special issue as we feature some of the best used cars you can buy – if you can find them!
The used market is in a special place right now, with prices for fairly old models still rising. But buy some of the more collectible cars on our list and you could find yourself the owner of a real investment – one that will continue to increase in value and as you drive it, you will. feel like James Bond.
Age isn’t a barrier either – and we’re talking cars here. Increasingly, fan groups for quite a few car models will help you keep your car in top condition without spending a lot of cash.
And there are a lot of dedicated garages, like the one I’m about to collect Jeep Cherokee from. It has been thoroughly overhauled and I can’t wait to get it back – complete with another year’s MoT for added peace of mind.
