First van MOT test to remain at three years from registration and annually thereafter

“The DfT sought views on proposals to change this in a consultation last year and received 4,500 responses, with 84% opposed to changing the date of the first test,” says Phil Lloyd, Head of Engineering Policy at Logistics UK. 

“The DfT has also said it will be working with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) on a trial of the relevant machines for measuring particles, and will look at how to adapt the MOT test for new technologies: electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated vehicles.” 

In related news, from 29 April DVSA will be introducing a digital-first approach for annual test certificates for both HGV and PSV testing.  

DVSA will stop printing MOT pass certificates, by default, at the time of the test.
