Same thing will happen soon in RSA, but luckily here I, when an old car is roadworthy, you can drive it without having to get it re-tested every year. When I lived in Ireland for a while, I saw the people had to get their older cars checked out every year (MoT?).

I was thinking the same thing.

That makes sense. How can you tax a car on CO2 if it hasn't even been driven 10km!!!
