Council indicates shift in taxi tests
Accrington Observer
|July 04, 2025
HYNDBURN Council is seeking views on its plans to outsource the roadworthiness testing of its licensed taxis and private hire vehicles.
-
In May, Hyndburn Council's cabinet decided to end its controversial 'in house' MoT testing for such cabs.
Currently, it requires taxis and private hire vehicles to undergo mechanical testing and inspection by the council's Central Vehicle Maintenance Unit (CVMU) in Church.
The test covers all MOT items, plus the council's supplementary testing items.
Upon passing the test, a Certificate of Compliance is issued. The current cost for this test is £52.50.
