New Car MOT Rules from 31 January 2024

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

Video tutorial

This video outlines the new rules regarding car MOTs from 31 January 2024: from this date, as per a circular published on 7 November 2023, checks must be conducted via the EOBD port, including error readings; for cars registered from 1 January 2021, there will also be a requirement to communicate fuel consumption data stored by the OBFCM control unit, which will help combat the malpractice of mileage tampering in cars with efficiency and safety issues, as indicated by onboard diagnostics.

The cost should remain the same, hoping that centres do not pass on the cost of the necessary equipment to the customer.

Remember that driving with an expired MOT certificate incurs a significant administrative penalty and suspension of the vehicle from circulation.
