Every TWO years is standard in Europe, afaik, but having been promised that when we got the much stiffer MoT's, it was quietly withdrawn, just like the proposed motorway speed limit increase to 80mph, also inline with much of Europe.
Sadly, the road safety crews have too much influence in the UK.

"The time new cars are allowed on Britain's roads before requiring an MOT could rise from three to four years, under government proposals. The period before the annual safety check is needed could change in 2018 after a public consultation. Northern Ireland and many European nations already have such an exemption."

It says 3 years on the link in Europe and Ireland.

We were also discussing time between inspections, annually or bi-annually.
it's bi-annually in lots of EU countries, with a stiffer test. We got the stiffer tests, but the road safety bods got the bi-annually thing thrown out.

Which part of this statement is not getting through?
