We are seeking views on whether the first date for a MOT test should be changed.

We are keen to understand:

  • when people think the first date should be
  • how making a change to this date will affect businesses
  • whether we should introduce any other changes to MOT testing

We will use this evidence to inform updates to policy, guidance, best practice and other policy tools across government.
