Thank you for your response to the HGV MOT testing consultation.
As you are probably aware, we’ve had a number of responses from historic vehicle collectors. We will be talking to relevant representatives and experts prior to drafting legislation, to look at options such as you suggest and to ensure that we don’t catch individuals who were not the intended target of these proposals. Which is not to promise that everybody who currently claims to have an exempt historic vehicle will avoid the categories that we are seeking to change.
The point you have made about VOSA being able to accommodate unusual vehicles is also one that has to be looked at in detail. We are not going to try to introduce new rules if it is then impossible for VOSA to comply with them.
I hope that this goes some way towards reassuring you.
