More than half of those checked by police found to have faults
Introducing MOTs on the Isle of Man wouldn't necessarily reduce the number of cars with defects on the Island's roads.
That's the view of the Home Affairs Minister following questions about vehicle checks and roadworthiness in this morning's sitting of the House of Keys.
Bill Malarkey revealed 58 of the 107 vehicles stopped as part of the police's winter vehicle checks campaign this year have been found to have at least one fault.
However, Mr Malarkey says regular testing doesn't stop faults occurring:
Reservoir levels down, but water stocks relatively healthy
Advertising board proposed for airport
Isle of Man reviewing self-testing cervical screening kits
Former treasury minister warns against 'emotional' triple lock decision
