Important MOT Updates that you shouldn’t have missed!

Massive changes are hitting ATL MOT garage services at the moment around connected equipment & it can be tricky to keep on top of what the DVSA now expects of you.

To give you a running start in 2020 & peace of mind with your MOT endeavours, we want to share some of the most important updates that you should really be aware of.

MOT Connected Equipment is on the move!

Over the past 12 months, plans have been in place to roll out new connected MOT equipment standards – in the hopes of making the MOT procedure intuitive, integrated & fraud-proof.

Since October 2019, the DVSA (working alongside the GEA) has completed the successful rollout of connected Brake Testers and announced the introduction of connected Decelerometers from February 1st of this year.

Trails are also being held on emissions testers and headlight testers, with the ambition of them being put into circulation by the end of 2020.

Updated VT01 Form

The well-known MOT application form VT01, has recently been through a facelift too.

Introduced on November 1st 2019, the VT01 application to apply, run or change an MOT station now requests a few extra details as part of the application.

PLEASE NOTE: Any submissions made on the old version of the form, will delay your process.

You can download the new application form here.

Or you could work with Hofmann Megaplan!
