MOT Tests Linked to Mileage

Possible changes to the MOT testing system in the UK could spell confusion for car owners and mean big changes for vehicle testing centres.

Currently, vehicles in the UK must have an MOT when they reach three years old, followed by an annual test — a vehicle is not permitted on UK roads without a valid MOT.

Under proposals discussed at the time of writing, the MOT would instead be linked to the vehicle's mileage, with tests taking place when the vehicle reaches certain "mileage milestones". A system tied to mileage would make an accurate odometer reading more important than ever.

Dash Wizard are specialists in digital mileage correction — resetting or adjusting the recorded mileage of a vehicle after the odometer reading has become corrupt, malfunctioned or failed, most commonly due to damage or electrical failure.
