The European Union’s roadworthiness package was agreed and published as 3 separate directives in the Official Journal of the European Union:
- 2014/45/EU Periodic Technical Inspection (our MOT or annual test).
- 2014/46/EU Registration Documents for Vehicles
- 2014/47/EU Technical Roadside Inspections
Although the 3 directives came in to force on 20 May 2014, they have implementation dates ranging from 20 May 2017 through to 2023.
