So they’re basically just deterring us from buying diesels. But to be fair if there were to be something ‘dangerous’ that allows the car to fail the MOT then surely it’s something that should have been fixed in the first place...?
It’s a shame though, on money terms I imagine some people are going to struggle a lot more...
went for MOT with longlist of advisories - previous owner, however test centre ignored them and failed MOT for something more expensive to fix... Soon as I've paid £350 car was roadworthy without repairing previously advised parts...Sold this car month later.
This is all one huge scam to subsidize approved testing shops. Working headlight washers if you have them? That's bullshit! Don't scrap your car though, send it to America instead ;)

How is this going to affect classic cars? The only time my Mini isn't leaking oil is when there's none in it!
Tears are flowing down my cheeks.
You will get a system nearly as strict as we got in Germany since more than 50 years.
So, if we could manage to maintain our cars you could do it for sure.
