As someone who has done "tech" inspectons BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good luck enforcing that.

Quote:
The EU also want to change the definition of a historic vehicle which would be exempt from an MOT.
It wants to exempt all cars more than 30-years-old from testing providing the vehicle 'has been maintained in its original condition, including its appearance'.
This is based on the vehicle having not 'sustained any change in technical characteristics of its main components such as engine, brakes, steering or suspension'.
Classic cars which don’t fit this criteria would then have to be subject to new regulations.
So if it has been modified its no longer a "historic" vehicle and subject to inspection which bars modifications.

That is of course not taking into account bias in the sourse of the reporting.
