MOT after 4 years

[GastonJ]

The time new cars are allowed on Britain's roads before requiring an MOT could rise from three to four years, under government proposals.
The period before the annual safety check is needed could change in 2018 after a public consultation.
Northern Ireland and many European nations already have such an exemption.
The Department for Transport said safer technology and improved manufacturing means new vehicles stay roadworthy for longer.
It cites figures showing the annual number of three and four-year-old cars involved in accidents where a vehicle defect was said to be a contributory factor has fallen from 155 in 2006 to 57 in 2015.
The change would also apply to motorcycles.

All welcome news indeed though the government did opt out of doing this as part of the EU proposals a few years back, I recall writing about it in here.

Must be getting ready for Chinese cars to be imported that won't be fit for an MOT after 1 year let alone 4, but it'll be 4 years before you find out

Should never have MOT test in the first place, most third world countries only MOT on public transport, buses, minibus, taxi, the rest of the cars are exempt from MOT, they have more conjunction traffic then UK, the cause of accident in UK is blamed on poor road markings and not the condition of the vehicle...

You've been watching "La La Land" haven't you?

But remember an MOT is not a certificate of road-worthiness. Your car could pass the MOT as you leave the test centre the brake fluid could leak car would be not be road-worthy when it crashes (A test certificate relates only to the condition of the components examined at the time of test. It does not confirm the vehicle will remain roadworthy for the validity of the certificate.)
Question On a new Car ever seen a document indicating the car is road-worthy on delivery until first MOT (It could be a pile of SH*T) Answer Nope!
Question What's the point of an MOT?

To give people jobs and raise money.
