Over the past five years 19.5 per cent of vehicles required re-testing at the Londonderry Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) testing centre.

Last year 19.19 per cent of vehicles were re-tested. The lowest figure over the last five years was 18.72 per cent three years ago; the highest was 20.79 per cent in 2005/6.

Mr Attwood stated that the ratio of vehicles which required re-testing means the total number of vehicles that undertook a re-test as a percentage of the total number of vehicle tests conducted in the Londonderry test centre.
