(e) vehicles in Class IVa (being minibuses which are not within Class IV). The vehicles in this Class cover "minibuses", other than those excluded by virtue of a certificate of initial fitness issued on or after 1st August 1998 or compliance with certain type approval requirements, not being vehicles within Class III, V or Va in respect of which any forward facing seat is fitted with a relevant seat belt: from £40.75 to £44.40 (8.96%).
(f) vehicles in Class V ("large passenger-carrying vehicles", particular public service vehicles and "play buses" not being vehicles within Class Va) -
(g) vehicles in Class Va ("large passenger-carrying vehicles", particular public service vehicles and "play buses", other than those excluded by virtue of a certificate of initial fitness issued on or after 1st August 1998 or compliance with certain type approval requirements, in respect of which any forward-facing seat is fitted with a relevant seat belt) -
(h) vehicles in Class VII (goods vehicles with a design gross weight of more than 3,000 but not more than 3,500 kgs), from £35.75 to £39.20 (9.65%).
In the case of the vehicles mentioned above, under regulation 21 of the 1981 Regulations the fee payable on an appeal against a notice of the refusal of a test certificate is the same amount as the fee payable for the examination; and under regulation 23 of those Regulations, the fee for a duplicate test certificate in respect of a motor bicycle without a side car is half that fee. These fees are therefore increased automatically because of the increase in the fee for the examination.
The fee payable for the supply of 100 forms of test certificate is increased from £94 to £119 (26.59%).
Regulation 5 adds tyres and wheels (other than in respect of vehicles in Class I or II) to the list of items in regulation 20(3A)(b) (no fee payable for the re-examination of vehicles in certain classes where the re-examination relates to one or more of the matters listed).
