On the 12th September 1960 the MOT Test was introduced the Government realised that regulation was urgently needed. Its response came when the Minister of Transport, Earnest Marples, introduced the Ministry of Transport (MOT) test as a key component of the 1960 Road Traffic Act. The MOT test was designed to check the technical elements of a vehicle to make sure it was safe to drive.
Every vehicle over 10 years old was now required, by law, to take the MOT test every year. Technicians carrying out an MOT had to check a vehicle’s brakes, lights and steering and, unsurprisingly, a high number of the vehicles tested failed. As such, in 1961, the age of vehicles requiring an MOT was reduced to seven years and cut even further to three years in 1967.
What checks does a vehicle undergo as part of the MOT test at Apsley MOT based in Hemel and covering Herts?
The very first MOT test focused on examining brakes, lights and steering; tyre checks were included in 1968 with a minimum tread-depth of 1mm being demanded. In comparison, thanks to technical and safety advances in tyre development and overall vehicle performance, the minimum tread-depth required today is 1.6mm.
