It's not about older vehicles paying more for road worthiness certification, but about enforcing stricter measures for any vehicle to gain that certificate. Many of not most vehicles are not even tested before the certificate it issued. Middle men are employed to pay their way through and get the certificates for car owners whose vehicles are not even brought the DVLA centre for evaluation. The problem is with corruption.

Please share a direct link to the full directive so the public can read it. Transparency is the best way to prevent exploitation and eliminate corruption.
Also, we need urgent clarity on how vehicle age is calculated: Is it based on the Year of Manufacture or the Date of First Registration?
For example: If a car is manufactured in 2018 (a 2018 model) but bought brand new and first registered in 2020, does the age count from 2018 or 2020? This is very common since model runs span multiple years. Publish the full, clear guidelines openly so everyone knows exactly where they stand!

Rather ensure strong messures regarding recursive training of commercial drivers by partnering with private driving schools at least once every 3 years. Show they common mistakes (as video and verbal interactions to consider the uneducated existing drivers) and the consequences of such mistakes. Teach them safety and defensive driving.
Ensure our streets lights and traffic lights are always working alongside adequate road signs.
Utilize the basic traffic insurance money to fix damages of thing damaged by drivers on the roads like the street lights, traffic lights, guard rails etc...
Perform random checks on drivers for alcohol and driving under the influence. Serve them penalties, short bans + retraining and complete bans depending of the scale of offense.
A whole lot more .... this is not rocket science. Quite common all over the world.

This ban does not make sense at all. Others have said a lot. What I want to add is that the reasonable thing to do is to make sure that the vehicle imported to Ghana is road worthy from the country of origin. A vehicle can be over 15 years in Europe or America but goes through rigorous checks each year to see if it's road worthy, issued with a certificate before it's allowed on the road. IN UK where I reside there are cars well over 15 years but still driven on the road because it has passed MOT test. Why are Ghanaians back home always making life difficult for their citizens who have stayed all their lives in Europe or America? It's not easy to buy a brand new car Abroad, not to mention the duties imposed on them during clearance at our ports. Those making these laws clearly do not buy the cars they're driving with their own money. They can afford brand new cars back home because one way or the other someone is paying for them.

Law makers in Ghana seem not to know or research much into issues before passing them. The current tend in the sector shows much less reliable vehicles being produced and auto-makers increasingly making it difficult to repair your own car. Without specialized tools, as they terms it, it's almost impossible for any regular mechanic to repair these newer cars. Most of these cars also have in-built redundancy, meaning, they are intentionally designed to be replaced after certain milage. Consumers are forced to replace their cars after certain milage and that averages about 7-10 years, because the repairs would be essentially almost as costly as buying another car. In the U.S, people are waking up, especially after a group of automakers went all the way to the oval office to petition Trump to make it impossible for car owners to repair their own cars. ... Yet here we are with such laws.... It's just amazing how ignorant some of these public officials are...

If so then I disagree with dvla rollin out the new no year format number plates. The year is important so we know when such vehicles are still being registered. They can't deny some people while others are allowed

Good idea. This is better than the previous 10 years limit. It now makes sense because we'll maintained 15 year old cars abroad are still very strong and can compete with 1 to 5 years cars apart from modern tech specs.
