MOT test fees are set to increase for the first time in over 16 years, with the UK government actively reviewing the current price cap due to lobbying from the motor industry.

Key Details on Potential Increases:
Current Situation: The maximum fee for a standard car MOT (Class 4) has been frozen at £54.85 since April 2010.
Industry Pressure: The Independent Garage Association (IGA) has warned that this cap makes the testing service unviable for many, given inflation and rising garage overheads.
Proposed Changes: The Department for Transport (DfT) has confirmed it is reviewing the fee structure, and a, consultation is expected, potentially setting a new, higher cap by late 2025 or 2026.
Potential New Price: While not confirmed, discussions include aligning with inflation (which would put the price closer to £80) or a smaller increase to roughly £60.

🚙 Useful tip 🚗

Most all vehicles have a recirculation button with the AC controls in their cars. But many of us are unsure when to use it.

Well, the easy answer is to use it in the summer and turn it off in the winter.

The recirculation button simply takes the air from inside the car and recirculates it in the cabin instead of pulling fresh air from outside. On days like today when it is miserably hot outside, if you do not recirculate the cooler air in the cabin, than your AC system is pulling hot air from outside and trying to cool it. Using the recirculation feature will get your car cooler and will decrease the wear and tear on your AC system.
- Side note, if your car has been baking in the sun, its better to roll the windows down and turn recirculate off for the first minute or so to get rid of the super hot air inside the car before turning the recirculate on.

Also, any time you are stuck in traffic ( summer or winter) be sure to use the recirculate. If you are pulling air from outside, then you are pulling in all the pollutants and carbon monoxide from all the traffic. Studies show that recirculating your AC can cut down on the pollutants entering your vehicle by 20% when stuck in traffic!

Even in autumn car maintenance is of paramount importance.
One of the most important components to check is the air filter.
After the summer season, characterised by long journeys and potentially dusty areas, the filter may have accumulated debris that hinders optimal air flow to the engine. This can cause a number of problems, such as reduced power, slower acceleration and a consequent increase in fuel consumption.
