We are consulting on proposals to implement an exemption from testing for vehicles over 40 years old.

This includes options to:

  • exempt all vehicles over 30 years old
  • have alternative testing requirements
  • remove the exemption

We are proposing that vehicles which have been ‘substantially altered’ will not be exempt from testing.
