 Annual training and assessment for MOT testers is an important part of improving road and vehicle safety.
We know that over the last few months garages and testers have been busy.
When we spoke to some of you in September, the majority of sites said their business had been impacted by COVID-19.
We recognise the challenges you’ve faced this year, so we’re extending the deadline for the MOT annual assessment.
MOT testers will now need to complete their training and assessment by Friday 30 April 2021 to avoid being suspended from testing.
The training can be carried out individually or with a training provider and the result will be recorded automatically, via MTS.
Testers should do this in plenty of time before the deadline and not leave it until the last minute.
The topics testers need to study depend on which vehicles are tested.
For Group A (class 1 and 2 vehicles), the topics are:
For Group B (class 3, 4, 5 and 7 vehicles), the topics are:
Those who test vehicles in Groups A and B need to study all the topics and train for at least 6 hours a year (instead of 3) and take 2 annual assessments.
We’ll be sending our regular reminders to MOT sites and testers directly over the next few months about getting the training and assessment done on time.
We want to take this opportunity to thank you again for everything you’ve done during the pandemic to help keep Britain’s vehicles safe to drive.
