MOT special notice 01-22: improvements to the MOT testing guide

Published 9 February 2022

This guidance was withdrawn on

This guidance has been withdrawn because it is out of date.

Applies to England, Scotland and Wales

We’ve reformatted the MOT testing guide into a series of webpages, rather than the old PDF version.

It now follows the same format as the inspection manuals.

This will make it easier to access the information you need, instead of scrolling through multiple pages of a PDF.

1. How to use the MOT testing guide

The information in the guide has not changed. We’ve made it into a series of webpages so you can find information more easily.

We’ve also made some changes to the format and numbering to make it easier to follow.

And you’ll be able to see future updates to the testing guide by clicking the ‘see all updates’ link.
