Hi, I think it is a good idea to have a yearly test. If the systems gets sorted to run properly then it means that cars will at least get 1 check over per year. I think it should be brought in at a younger age. Of course the current set up can't deal with the volume as it is right now, obviously this should be priority number one & then move on to improvements.
It's frightening when you talk to some people about their cars & the disregard they have for them. I'm talking about safety items in particular but there is a high level of recklessness & apathy in a high proportion of people in relation to motor maintenance. Some even wear it as a badge of pride that they "didn't spend a penny" on the car!
