Rejected petition Stop MOT fee discounting 

FOR EVER

Vote for the Government to mandate to stop MOT bays from being able to discount MOT test fees at all. The MOT test is a safety check that should NOT be discounted.

As garages struggle to survive and mot fee discounting is often used to attract customers but with a negative affect on test quality

More details

The DVSA are challenged by the reliability and quality of mot tests conducted by companies that discount MOT fees, there is a definite risk of poor standards created by discounted fees that can directly affect road safety.

The consumer is at risk of MOT testing stations 'finding' extra faults in order to subsidise low mot test fees, either way the consumer loses

the MOT test is a measure of vehcile standards and as such should not be something that can be done on the cheap!

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

The Government sets a maximum amount that can be charged for an MOT, but there is no minimum charge.

If what you want is for the Government to set a minimum charge for MOTs, we could accept a petition requesting that.

If you start a new petition you'll need to provide your full name.
