Heavy Vehicle Testing – Update

29 April 2020

Last month, DVSA announced that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, heavy vehicle testing (MOTs) of all PSVs, HGVs and trailers had been suspended for up to 3 months.

However, it has now been announced that testing will be available for some vehicles which are being used to support the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This includes:

• out of service MOT vehicles and trailers being returned to service; and
• approval of specialist vehicles, such as ambulances.

Further information on MOT testing for lorries, buses and coaches during the coronavirus outbreak can be found here.
