Mr Clutch supports government U-turn on MOT testing
With recent plans to extend MOT testing to every two years being scrapped,the experts at Mr Clutch Autocentres say keeping MOTs as an annual test can only benefit drivers by keeping our roads safer.
- (1888PressRelease) March 07, 2012 - Recent plans from the Conservative party concerning a change to MOT testing have been scrapped following a study by Which? The plans would have seen MOT testing for cars changed from the current annual test to every two years, however, these plans have been discarded when it was discovered that millions of MOT inspections were wrong.
The study into MOT testing stations, undertaken by Which? showed that serious problems were missed or incorrectly assessed in 27.7% of cars last year, which translates to around 8.3 million vehicles. These shocking statistics have led to Transport Secretary, Justine Greening, insist on tightening up the industry code of conduct, hoping to improve garage standards using online reviews, mystery shoppers and MOT test centres undergoing stringent new spot checks.
MOT testing currently takes place every year and essentially makes sure vehicles meet national safety requirement and are fit for use on the road. Mr Clutch Autocentres, who carry out MOT testing at over half of their branches, agree that the tests should remain an annual check. Keeping roads safe is of the utmost importance as allowing unsafe vehicles out in traffic can be a danger to other road users.

All their mechanics and MOT testing experts are highly qualified, with training and certification provided by the governing body VOSA.
