The Independent Garage Association has asked the UK government to raise the maximum MOT fee to at least £95. The motorcycle MOT has been frozen at £29.65 since 2010. IGA chief executive Stuart James argues that rising labour, energy and compliance costs make the current fee unsustainable, though the body has not yet said what a bike test should cost.

From a market standpoint, the anomaly is that the fee sat at £29.65 from 2010 onwards. The numbers say workshops absorbed sixteen years of wage and energy inflation themselves. Testing regimes differ across India and Southeast Asia, but losing the people who do the servicing hurts any market equally.

I'd rather pay a fair price than have tests done sloppily.

Not naming a bike figure is the real issue. You can't debate a blank.

Losing the local workshops costs you more in the long run.

More badly maintained bikes on the road is worse for emissions too.

£29.65 frozen since 2010 is honestly the surprising part.

Jumping straight to £95 is a lot, though. That's triple.
