asked the Minister for Local Government if he intends to introduce MOT certificate tests for secondhand vehicles in this country.
Comment on this
A recent EEC directive obliges member states to bring into operation over a period a harmonised system of roadworthiness tests for certain commercial vehicles and arrangements will be made accordingly. In the meantime it is not my intention at this stage to introduce testing for other classes of vehicles.
