The cost of an MOT test in Northern Ireland will increase from 1 October 2023. This follows an eight-week public consultation which ended in August.

An MOT test for a car will cost £38 from the beginning of next month, up from £30.50. The cost of testing a taxi will also increase, up from £138.50 to £147.

The Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) said it is facing a shortfall in its income due to “the rising cost of delivering services”, adding that it “must cover the cost of delivering services through the income it generates from fees”.
