(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Tests) Regulations 1981 ("the 1981 Regulations"). Those Regulations make provision for certain motor vehicles to be examined by persons authorised by the Secretary of State and for test certificates to be issued for vehicles that are found to meet certain requirements. These certificates are commonly referred to as "MOT Certificates".
Regulation 2 makes amendments to regulation 20 of the 1981 Regulations. Regulation 20 prescribes the fees payable for examinations of vehicles pursuant to applications made under regulation 12 of those Regulations.
The changes to the fees for examinations of vehicles in Classes VI and VIA (public service vehicles other than those of a type specified in regulation 5(3) of the 1981 Regulations and those excluded by virtue of a certificate of initial fitness issued on or after 1st August 1998 or compliance with certain type approval requirements, in respect of which any forward-facing seat is fitted with a relevant seat belt) are set out in the Table. The percentage changes since the fees were last fixed are shown in brackets.
