The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is improving access to MOT testing advice by relocating it from the current MOT Testing Service (MTS) to a centralised, dedicated page on GOV.UK. This change, effective in early July 2025, directly addresses feedback from MOT testers regarding outdated, contradictory, and irrelevant information within the existing system.
The new GOV.UK page is designed to be a “single source of truth,” offering clear, manufacturer-specific advice for both cars/light vehicles and motorcycles. Testers will find consistent links to this advice within MTS (vehicle confirmation screen, footer, and test results page), and the content will be regularly reviewed and updated by technical experts.
This enhancement offers several benefits, including:
Improved accuracy and relevance: Testers will receive correct and up-to-date information, free from irrelevant data.
Enhanced accessibility: The advice can be viewed on any internet-connected device, and new testers or trade users can access it without needing to log in to MTS.
Streamlined user experience: Testers will no longer encounter advice for the wrong vehicle type (e.g., car advice for motorcycles).
The guidance will be evaluated by technical experts and updated when manufacturers supply the DVSA with new information, which may also include relevant images and visuals. And while direct printing from MTS will no longer be available, the ability to view the advice on any device ensures continued access. Overall, this initiative aims to streamline and enhance the MOT testing process for all users.
