MOT tests are changing

 

New research suggest a large number of motorists in the UK are unclear on what is changing and how it will affect them.

MOT tests are changing, these changes will come into force on the 20th May, they will change the way faults are categorised, to make UK roads safer.

new research shows that only 30% of drivers on the road understand these new MOT rules.

MOT tests will now be split into three categories to grade faults by severity – Minor, Major and Dangerous, the last two resulting in a fail.

 

Information on the DVSA website explains:

Dangerous – Fail

-A direct and immediate risk to road safety or has a serious impact on the environment.

-Do not drive the vehicle until it’s been repaired.

Major – Fail
