A new way to book an MOT demonstration test

From Monday, 5 September 2022, we'll be changing the way you book an MOT demonstration test.

This is to help improve our service and make it easier to book a test.

What's changing?

If you need to take a demonstration test, instead of calling the contact centre, you will need to fill in a form on GOV.UK. You will be asked for your details, your preferred testing station and a number of questions to check you are ready to take the test.  

You will be contacted within 10 working days for a date to take your demonstration test. Please allow 4 weeks for the whole process to be completed. 

You can contact us using the information on the booking page if you need to check on the progress of your application. Our contact centre won't be able to update you on the progress of your application.

Who does this change apply to?

  • new testers
  • current testers adding additional classes
  • testers returning from suspensions or lapses who have been told they need a demonstration test to go back to testing

Using the form will make the process quicker and easier for you to book a demonstration test.

If you are unable to complete the form, please call our contact centre who will be able to assist you. 

The form will be available to use from 5 September. We’ll email the link to you in the next few weeks.
