Thread: Interesting, Govt looking to move vintage cars to annual WOF...

My 1980 1275GT Mini has 6 monthly WoFs and the place I take it too just loves seeing the car everytime I bring it in. He gives it a fair going over and points out anything that may need attention, but rarely does. So my WoF bill per year is around $160 for the twice a year inspections.

I live in a area where I frequently see 01/01/2000< cars on the roads full of rust, crook brakes/wheel bearings brake lights out etc that only require a 12 monthly WoF and are often being driven in a manner that puts those defects under stress, possibly leading to a danger to other road users.

It's not the $$ of twice yearly WoF, but the inconvience of going to just have a box ticking exercise done.
