The Classic MOT Survey

PR Campaign
Tuesday 22nd September, 2026

Hagerty surveyed British classic-car enthusiasts about the 40-year MOT exemption, finding that 64% support a bespoke annual test designed for older vehicles. The tension between enjoying an exemption and still wanting reassurance gave the brand a timely motoring story and a clear policy hook.

Why it worked: It turned a counterintuitive data point—exempt owners still wanting annual checks—into a timely policy hook amid ongoing MOT rule debates.

The lesson: Consider fielding a quick poll exposing a surprising split within a beneficiary group, then pitch it as a concrete policy fix.

FAQs

What is this?

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan lots of different news sources and use AI to spot the campaigns behind the stories, and show you which ones are getting the most traction right now. Think of it as a live leaderboard of what's working in PR.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.

Why isn't my campaign listed?

If you've launched a PR campaign recently and it's not included in here, and you think it should be - drop us a note and we'll investigate.
