One in five MoT testers down to the wire with DVSA assessment deadline

One in five MoT testers have left it to the final week to pass their assessment in the face of being suspended by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Association (DVSA) from testing.

While 80% of MoT testers have completed this year’s annual training and assessment ahead of the deadline, the remaining 20% have left it to the last week.

There has been a push by the industry for reaccreditation as the IMI revealed back in January that three-quarters of testers had not completed their annual assesment.
