Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the financial rationale is for the cost of MOT testing for class 4 vehicles.
The current MOT fee in Great Britain for class 4 vehicles was set by The Motor Vehicles (Tests) (Amendment) Regulations 2010, and the rationale for the fee level is set out fully in the relevant published impact assessment. The fee has been set to reflect the time taken to carry out an MOT and the costs of a garage in delivering that MOT. MOT garages often charge less than the set fee.
