This is so that we can carry out improvement works.

If you need to carry out testing during this period, please use the contingency code which will be automatically displayed on your screen when the service is down.

MOT testing service: web address changing

Following tonight's improvement works, the web address for the MOT testing service is changing. The change shouldn’t affect most of you.

You should always access the service through www.gov.uk/mot-testing-service.

This makes sure that you see any urgent messages about service availability.

If you’ve bookmarked the direct link to the sign in screen within the service (http://mot-testing.i-env.net), update it with the GOV.UK address now. 

Check your IT network allows access

Some large company networks stop you visiting certain website addresses.

Make sure that your IT team allows access to any website address that includes ‘service.gov.uk’ so you can access all government services.
