## Resource

Classic car owners are pushing for a new, vintage-specific MOT test as the current system—designed for modern vehicles—fails to properly assess older models. With cars over 40 years old exempt from annual testing, many still get checked for safety, and 64% of surveyed owners support a tailored test. The goal? Ensure historic vehicles stay roadworthy while preserving automotive heritage—and possibly boosting resale value.
