I don’t understand why this would/should raise the cost of insurance, cause higher repair bills, or cause greater fuel use. In my experience, most vehicles don’t suddenly become gas guzzling rust buckets in a 12 month period, and those that are nearing this catagory surely wouldn’t pass their MOTs anyway!
As an example to compare to, my parents vehicle in Florida has been owned by them for over 11 years with absolutely no MOTs required in that time, and is in just as good condition and running order now, as it was when it was first aquired, with no greater service bills or fuel costs than their vehicle in the UK.
