Officials are seeking opinions on proposed plans which could save new car owners money, however some have argued the move could put road users in danger.
The Department for Transport (DfT) launched a public consultation, asking motorists if the first MOT for a new car should be four years after it has been purchased. Right now, new cars must sit their first MOT at least three years after purchase.
They have also stated that MOTs should be updated to test more recent technology such as lane-assisted driving.
