Special Notice 03-2022 DBS Checks for MOT Testers
From 1 April 2022, some MOT testers will need to provide a basic disclosure certificate (also known as a DBS check) before they can carry out a demonstration test in the presence of DVSA.
This change will apply to:
- newly qualified MOT testers
- suspended MOT testers (2 or 5 years) who want to return to testing
- MOT testers who have not carried out an MOT test in the last 5 years
The disclosure check must be dated within 3 months of your DVSA demonstration test. For example, a certificate dated 21 February 2022 would not be acceptable for a demonstration test booked for 30 May 2022.
