As stated in the MOT Testing Guide (page 125) , MOT Testers “should access their Test Quality Information reports to compare their personal performance with the national averages.”

Your TQI is updated monthly, so you should be reviewing your TQI each month to ensure you note the valid reasons as to why your own personal performance may differ from the national average.

The DVSA have published a useful guidance for MOT Testers for how to use MOT test quality information .

You need to be aware of any anomaliesSomething that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected. that could result in a DVSA sanction. Reviewing your Test Logs on a monthly basis gives you the ability to catch any issues and remedy them quickly and efficiently.

A common problem the DVSA encounter is where a different vehicle reg has been logged onto the MTS than the vehicle that is being tested (usually from mis-typing the vehicle reg). The DVSA could suspend you from testing as a result of this type of issue.

By reviewing your Test Logs each month, you’re allowing yourself to find any potential risks, and eliminate them before they become a problem. With MOT Juice, you just set the rules and our system will automatically analyse your data for you and highlight any MOTs that you should be concerned about.

You can find out more about the MOT Juice Test Log Analysis tool here.

QC checks on testers are a requirement of running an MOT garage. The DVSA specify the rules in the MOT Testing Guide (page 44) and state that the “frequency of checks may typically be expected to be 1 per tester every 2 months.”

This however, is based on the average garage throughput of 2-3 tests per day for experienced testers. Therefore, if a tester is doing 4-6 tests per day, they should be expected to do a QC check once per month.

The MOT Juice QC checking system encourages all users to be achieving a minimum of 1 QC check per month, to ensure the highest possible standards, and to ensure maximum complianceThe ability to act according to an order, set of rules or request [of the DVSA]. with DVSA regulations.

Conducting regular site audits are a great way to make sure your MOT Centre is compliant with a range of DVSA regulations. A lot of items tend to be forgotten about, and neglected but when a VE comes to visit, these items can really impact on your Site Assessment score, potentially leading to a suspension.

With the MOT Juice Monthly Site Auditing tool, you have the power to check everything a VE would, and ensure it is in a good working condition, and that there are no hazards around your MOT Centre, without having to rely on a third-party to make an appearance ‘once in a blue moon’.

Spend 30 minutes once a month conducting a site audit, identifying any problem areas, and work to resolve them before the following month and you’ll be on your way to running a healthy Vehicle Testing Station. Simply being able to identify a shortcomingA fault or failure to meet a certain standard (eg. tools not properly stored away). and evidencing how you plan to resolve it is great in the eyes of the DVSA.
