Does the other petition interest you then Carl
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/200995if there is no MOT for cars over 40 years old then at least they should be subject to a safety check because we all are old enough and ugly enough to know that there are those who will knowingly drive a defective car which is fine until you get into an emergency situation and there are those who will drive it because they are not capable of seeing the faults.
I for one will still take my 5 cars for a voluntary MOT type check - my MOT guy always manages to find things I have not spotted and I put mine up on the 4 poster ramp before I book it in -£175 per year is well worth a better peace of mind
