New EU Consultation on MoT Procedures

The EUroprats want to ask for peoples opinions on the possible standardisation of MoT testing across the EU states...so long as we don't get the German TuV procedure as it's very stringent on non-complying parts & home modifications. It has a time limit of 90 minutes which is plenty of time so long as you've not had too many shandies.

Thanks for the heads up Yoshi. I'll have a go at that one

Maybe they'll adopt the system over here in Victoria.

You only need a RoadWorthiness Certificate when you sell your vehicle or when your told to get one by the Police or Vic Roads. The test itself is quite basic compared to the MOT Test.

You're supposed to keep your vehicle in a roadworthy condition but there are no compulsory annual test carried out.

If you keep your vehicle and run it into the ground you never have to get it done and as things don't rust much over here there are quite a few clunkers on the roads.

A test certificate or insurance is not required to get your annual registration either. You get your sticker through the post and it Aecomes valid once you pay the fee.

An annual yest had been mooted but no sign of it happening.
