We received our MOT Special Notice a little while ago and there were a couple of changes beginning to come through at the beginning of 2014.
The Driving and Standards Agency (DSA) and Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA) merged at the beginning of the year to form the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). Of course, this doesn't affect customers, or even our company too much. It simply means the name on the top of letters and e-mails has changed and all letters and e-mails will be sent/received by one company, rather than the two separate ones.
Quite an interesting change that has been announced is the fact that the garages removed from the MOT Scheme will be made public. This means that the DVSA will be publishing details of different vehicle testing stations (VTS) who have been removed from the MOT Scheme - this will be due to the company failing inspection. A monthly e-mail alert will inform us of the VTS name, location, reason for their cessation and the cessation period. Very basically they'll send out a 'bad boy list' to MOT Stations that are on the mailing list in the form of an e-mail alert.
