Northern Ireland proposes cutting car MOT tests to every two years, aiming to ease testing pressures.

Northern Ireland is considering reducing MOT tests for cars from annually to every two years, aiming to ease pressure on the system and potentially remove about 253,000 vehicles from annual testing. The Department for Infrastructure has launched a 12-week public consultation on the proposal, which seeks to address long wait times and increasing demand for tests. The change could reduce the number of annual MOTs by 26%, but critics worry it might lower road safety standards.
