The new Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd is being urged to do more to tackle the long waiting times motorists are still facing for an available MOT appointment.
The Driver and Vehicle Agency says it is still experiencing "significant demand" for vehicle testing services as MOT centres across Northern Ireland continue to tackle a backlog in appointments.
MOT tests have been suspended several times over the past two years, leaving many drivers facing long waits for appointments. In some cases, drivers have been unable to get their vehicles tested before their current MOT certificate expires.
