Petition Reform MOT testing: minimum pricing and higher professional standards
Reform MOT testing for better road safety. Introduce minimum pricing or a national flat rate to prevent dangerous undercutting, and more rigorous checks for new testers and MOT stations gaining qualification.
More details
We believe that current low fees compromise safety and professional standards. We are concerned that current MOT prices may be forcing dangerous undercutting - stations charging £25-£30 may fail items unnecessarily to profit from repairs. The £54.85 maximum fee for cars has not kept pace with inflation compared to other industries. Unqualified testers compromise road safety. We need minimum pricing and higher professional standards to protect drivers and legitimate businesses.
