Some recent reports that surprised me. A quick look shows the same news on several websites so they look genuine to me.
Sharing it here in case it helps / informs people. Comments welcome.
The Department for Transport is planning a major overhaul of the MOT rules for classic cars in 2025.
(based on under 1,100 responses they had to a survey - I'd not heard about this or I would have responded)

Car tax overhaul to impact drivers over 70 with new VED rates starting April.
The standard VED fees will rise in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI) inflation, increasing to £195 per year from April 1.
This makes it sound like drivers over 70 pay a flat rate for VED - I'd not heard this before??

"First year tax" will increase a lot for some cars. I knew this was coming but had no idea some cars would have to pay over £5k just for this

I try to follow the motoring news but I'd not heard about any of these changes until today.
