UK Lockdown (3) day 54, The bike needs an MOT

            The MOT test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards.

What is the MOT? The abbreviation MOT actually stands for the Ministry of Transport, which was the Government department responsible for the roads when the MOT was first introduced in 1960. When it was first introduced, an MOT test was only required after a car was ten years old, Now it is required on the 3rd anniversary of the vehicles registration and then annually.

MOT, which we now know stands for Ministry of Transport, is actually now named after a defunct government department. The Ministry of Transport is, however, one of the ancestors of the Department for Transport.

There are over 20,000 local garages in Great Britain that are licensed to carry out, and award, MOTs – employing over 53,000 testers. An MOT testing license can be applied for by anyone, although you’d need to meet the minimum criteria of the government-issued VT01 form.

In Northern Ireland, tests must be carried out by DVA’s own test centres, which is their equivalent to the UK’s DVSA. There is a view to change this to a similar model to that of the remainder of the UK, though.

Stay home, stay safe, get vaccinated when you can.
