MOT Centre Site Auditing

Yes.

There’s no requirement to use a third-party auditor to conduct site audits on your vehicle testing station(s). Some business owners prefer it as it frees up their time, but at an increased cost (the auditors time & travel are just a couple of examples of the unnecessary cost with this solution).

Cost
MOT Juice removes the additional costs of a third-party auditor, whilst providing you with all of the tools, resources and support you need to ensure your VTS meets (and exceeds) DVSA requirements. In fact, an annual MOT Juice VTS Compliance Suite subscription (including unlimited usage of our QC Checks, Site Audits & Equipment Calibration Scheduling tools) will typically cost you less than one single visit from a third-party auditor.

Time
With MOT Juice, you can do your site audits whenever it best fits your own schedule. You don’t need to worry about setting aside an couple of hours or booking in a slot with an auditor each month, you just log in and start an audit whenever it’s most convenient for you and your business.

More informed approach
With MOT Juice, by taking control of your own site audits you are gaining a deeper understanding of what exactly the DVSA & VEs are looking for when conducting their own site visits. You’ll be able to identify risks yourself, and get clear concise guidance on how to rectify any shortcomings.

Frequency
Third-party auditors usually only visit your VTS 2-4 times per year. If new compliance issues are only ever identified & rectified during these third-party audits, your business may be left vulnerable, and potentially non-compliance for the months in-between visits. With MOT Juice, you’re able to perform unlimited audits throughout the year (with most VTS’s carrying them out monthly), giving you increased, year-round protection. Areas of improvement are identified & recorded, so you can rectify issues promptly and evidence your actions (something strongly encouraged by DVSA).

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.
