The cost to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) of providing the MOT service in 2015/16 was £49,024k which was fully covered by charges made to garages through the MOT slot fee. The Government is intending to consult on changing the date of the first MOT for new cars. An announcement will be made when the consultation is launched.
