Require ALL hybrids and mild hybrids to go through emissions testing during MOT

What the petition asks
Many hybrid and mild hybrid vehicles spend the majority of their time powered by traditional combustion engines (diesel and petrol), currently they are exempt from emissions testing.
I believe that all hybrid and mild hybrid vehicles should be subject to emissions testing during MOTs. Given the task the motor trade could adapt to facilitate testing of these vehicles as part of the existing MOT test process.
Allowing hybrid and mild hybrid vehicles to continue to drive around completely unchecked is not consistent with creating a clean environment.
The Government should take this very simple action to help ensure our planet's survival.
