Yep prices sky rocketed on all cars in the last couple of years after covid, 2 years of very few new cars being sold the collapse of electric car sales and the cost of electric the lack of new diesel car options. Had all seen a big increasing in prices and so a big demand for keeping older cars on the road, if it costs £500 to pass an MOT and the car is only worth £500 then most people will bin it and buy a new car, but if that previously £500 car is now worth £1500 then it’s worth keeping it on the road for another year
