| Last year, we issued exemptions to help you stay on the road. We also used them to help ATFs manage the vehicles and trailers coming in for test. This means testing looks a bit different in 2021 than it would in a normal year. We've been talking to ATFs and operators about this – and looking at the demand for testing over the coming months. We know some months will be busier than usual. April is the first month we're predicting a higher number of tests compared to a regular testing year. In February and March, we're seeing a lower number of tests due to expire than normal. So ATFs will have more tests available in those months. Through our previous messages, we worked with you and ATFs to minimise the number of vehicles coming in early, so we could guarantee tests for those who needed them. We're relaxing this now because we've got a better idea about the tests due in each month. That's why we are encouraging you and ATFs to consider rescheduling some tests into February or March, when ATFs will be quieter. Spreading tests to quieter months helps everyone this year – and in the future. - You get peace of mind
- ATFs can manage the demand
- We can get the right levels of staff to ATFs
You can now find out if your local ATF or nearby sites have test availability. Use our Find a test centre for a HGV, bus or trailer MOT on GOV.UK to check availability today. |
