Important safety components can still fail, parts rust and seize, tyres crack, etc.
An annual check is hardly onerous. |

No form of MOT here in Canada for anything but HGVs which have a yearly safety check unless it for farm use.
You do see a lot more shit boxes on the road but in the city's the police will pull them over and take a car off the road if a obvious safety issue is present.
One less thing along with no road tax to worry about. ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650 Present:G650XC,C12,KZ750,1190ADV |

A saving of £40 a year, it costs me almost double that to fill the tank of my car now so it's hardly going to make an impact Why not lower vehicle tax instead since that wont have an additional impact of more dangerous shitboxes being on the road. |

It's high mileage / cost sensitive vehicles where the real concern is. It's deliveroo, pizza delivery cars, vans, lorries etc. For bikes it should at least be tied to the make of vehicle, some chinese bikes would rust to dust in 5 years. |

The Spacker is a 66 plate. It was due it's first MOT in October 19.
Due to many reasons I had to lock it away in a shed under a dustsheet for a couple of years. It's steaming towards 6 years
old now. About 2500 miles on the odometer, my hope is to get it back on the road pretty soon as my new shed is almost finished.
It's barely run in really and had new tyres just before going away for a long old nap. I don't anticipate a fail unless the exhaust
is too fruity for the tester. Just as an aside, the left hand heated grip has come loose, is that a fail too? Haven't really MOT'd a bike before. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I thought the big thing about cars/vehicles was that they were ‘polluting’. So only emissions test every two years?
As for boats vs cars, in testing terms, if you could get a narrow boat up to 90mph in four lane traffic then I reckon you would want them tested more frequently |
