As part of the DVSA’s ongoing strategy, announced in 2023, tackling fraudulent activity and ensuring consistent standards across garages have been identified as key priorities. Recent efforts include trialing connected equipment and implementing image capture technology during MOT tests.
Image Capture: A Key Initiative
The DVSA is rolling out trials to incorporate photographic evidence during MOT tests. Under the new prototype feature, testers will be required to capture an image of the vehicle in the testing bay after entering its number plate or VIN.
