Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many public service vehicles inspected by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency were identified as having tyres that exceed the 10-year age limit in each year since January 2014.

During statutory annual inspections, DVSA identified 2 instances of public service vehicles with tyres that had exceeded the 10-year age limit since January 2014; both instances were in 2017.

Whilst carrying out roadside enforcement checks, DVSA has not identified any public service vehicles with tyres that have exceeded the 10-year age limit since January 2014.
