Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion
Mr. Mark Synnott:
Let me answer that because we do have those data. As of right now, we do not look at motor tax. We ask has the vehicle been in motor tax in the past three months, because that is a good indicator of what it likely to be presented to us. If we were to go from today, we would knock 40,000 vehicles off that waiting list right away because they are out of tax right now. We give a window which probably overemphasises the level of vehicles that are overdue but it is one that has been proven over time. If it has been on the road in the last three months, from what we can see in the system there is a good chance it will present for an NCT.
