The Motor Vehicles (Tests) (Amendment) (No.2) Regulations 1989

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Tests) Regulations 1981 so as to make provision for fees for the examination of Class VI vehicles where an appointment for an examination is, at an applicant’s request, on a Saturday. The Regulations do not affect the fees for examinations in other circumstances. They remove the requirement for applications to the Secretary of State for an examination of a Class VI vehicle to be made at particular places (regulation 3) and extend the circumstances in which an application can be made other than in writing to all applications for a re-examination made within 28 days of the previous examination.

THE NORMAL FEES AND SATURDAY FEES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Nature of Examination	Normal fee	Saturday fee
Examination under regulation 12 of the 1981 Regulations of a vehicle constructed or adapted to carry more than 12 passengers.	£36.25	£60.75
Examination under regulation 12 in any other case.	£25.25	£43.25
Re-examination of a vehicle constructed or adapted to carry more than 12 passengers, within 14 days of previous examination.	£17.75	£30.00
Re-examination of any other vehicle within 14 days of previous examination.	£12.50	£21.50
Re-examination of a vehicle constructed or adapted to carry more than 12 passengers, later than 14 days after previous examination.	£36.25	£60.75
Re-examination of any other vehicle later than 14 days after previous examination.	£25.25	£43.25

A minor amendment is made to regulation 20(5B)(ii) of the 1981 Regulations, concerning refunds.
