Special Notice 3 2023
Special Notice 3 2023 outlines the changes required when applying to become an MOT Tester. Despite issuing Special Notice 3 2023 on 26th October, these changes will not be applicable until 8th January 2024.
Currently you must undergo a DBS check if you are a:
- New Tester ( or an existing tester adding an additional test group)
- Tester returning after a 2 or 5 year cessation
- Tester returning after a 5 year gap
From 8th January 2024 a DBS check must also be submitted if you are:
- Tester returning after a disciplinary period of 28 days (short term cessation)
- Tester returning after suspension or you are a lapsed Tester (including Testers who have failed to complete their annual assessment).
In addition, you will need to provide proof of your DBS check when you request a Demonstration Test. As part of the request process you will need to provide the DBS consent code to allow DVSA to view your certificate and provide a copy of the DBS certificate during the demonstration test.
