Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he plans to require motorists to have an MOT every 2 years.

The Government is always looking for ways to assist consumers with the cost of travel. During the time that the MOT system has been in place, cars have changed greatly including considerable safety improvements and there are new types of vehicle, in particular hybrid and electric cars. It is right that we keep the system under review.
