1. Overview

From Saturday 1 September 2018, electric goods vehicles with a design gross weight (DGW) not exceeding 3500kg and which were first used on or after 1 March 2015, will no longer be exempt from test.

As a result, you may start to get customers presenting this type of vehicle for test. You should carry out the MOT test on these vehicles as normal.
