I'm an MOT tester and I spoke to a VOSA man this week
It is felt that a two year MOT will bring it's own problems mostly that your car is likely to deteriorate in that period if not maintained and that in tiself will mean a far tougher test at two year intervals. That is likely to mean a costlier test fee
The general feeling is likely to be that this will not happen well at least for the near future . I personally suspect forget it for at least five years and maybe a lot more
Remember computerisation. It was in developement for lightyears before it finally came in. I think this will be the same

It's happening in the UK.
Soon.
Good move.......
However, once a vehicle has reached a certain age,
then the test should be more often.
First test is 3 years old now.
Next is then 5 years old.
Next 7.
Then make it yearly.
Cars are made well nowadays.
But age is always a factor.
......be strange having a MOT for 2 years.....
Almost Arthur Daley stuff........!!!

as a garage owner with an mot service i can tell you quite categorically that if it ever did come in to force there would be a lot more accidents ..you would be amazed how a vehicle can deteriorate in 12 months if not looked after the majority of faults on a vehicle is normally either steering ..tyres ..or brakes ..so if the test was every two years there would be a road crisis ..as well as a lot cars with no insurance or tax

Hi - in France the Control Technique exam (equivalent to MOT) is every two years and I think they start when the car is 4 years as opposed to 3. I haven't heard about is being used in UK. Will wait and see.
