The HiQ fast fit chain has applauded the Government’s decision to back down on plans to change MOT test frequency – a measure it said would “hit the pockets of motorists harder than ever.” HiQ says Transport Secretary Justine Greening’s statement that the Government would retain the 3-1-1 arrangement and work with the industry to focus on the standards of MOT testing stations and garages is “welcome news”, as the company aims to position itself as a category leader in self-regulation and transparency.

Bridgestone against MOT changes

Bridgestone has added its voice to the argument against the proposed changes to the MOT test schedule, suggesting that the potential 2012 change in the interval from one to two years could compromise road safety. Andy Dingley, communications manager at Bridgestone UK, said: “We know that a large proportion of motorists do not check their tyres regularly, and the MOT has proven to be very effective in highlighting tyre problems. The decision to change the MOT interval to two years throws up a lot of issues, primarily the inevitable increase in mileage between tyre checks.
