The extension of vehicle age limits is a matter for the statutory regulator, the National Transport Authority (NTA). The Deputy may be aware that, at the start of the pandemic, the NTA extended the age limits for vehicles that were due to reach these limits this year. The NTA is now considering extending the age limits further, until the end of 2021, and is currently conducting a public consultation process on this proposal prior to making its decision.
