The *original* point was the cost of motoring vs public transport.

So neither the American who mentioned US vehicle inspections, or I who
mentioned MOTs, were right to think that these are related to the cost
of motoring?

They relate to the cost of motoring, but it was wrong for you to include
it in a list of "taxes imposed in the UK".
