The DVSA require all MOT Testers to regularly check and review their TQI to compare their personal performance with the national averages. Reviewing your TQI data regularly helps to ensure you are testing to the correct DVSA standards and will help highlight any unusual differences in testing patterns.
This requirement is detailed in Section E3 of the MOT Testing Guide.
Yes.
MOT Juice has developed a new TQI Analytics feature that allows MOT Site Managers and business owners to easily, quickly and effectively compare testing habits between individual testers, sites and divisions to track and unexpected testing patterns.
Our TQI Analytics feature comes as standard with all MOT Juice TQI subscriptions, and does not require any additional work (such as reviews or note taking) to use.
TQI Analytics helps to monitor Test Quality Information, control standards and reduce risk within your MOT business.
No.
It is important to know that although your own failure rates might be significantly different to national averages, this does not automatically mean anything is wrong with your testing standards.
Even though you may be testing correctly, it is important to be able to understand why your failure rate is different, and be able to explain this to a VE if asked.
For example, if you test in a garage near the seaside your failure rate for corrosion may naturally be higher than that of a tester in Central London. Reviewing your TQI is all about identifying the genuine testing patterns from any potential suspicious or unexpected activity.
Yes.
With MOT Juice, your site manager can see all testers’ TQI data as well as all the reviews that are, and are not, being completed.
Site managers cannot review a testers TQI data on their behalf, as it is the testers own responsibility to do this.
Born from the needs of data hungry MOT Juice clients needing better visibility of testing standards within their business, MOT Juice TQI Analytics converts the DVSA TQI data into a better visual representation.
With this feature, clients can easily and quickly compare individual MOT testers, sites and divisions against each other and/or the DVSA National Average.
MOT Juice TQI Analytics allows you to compare testing data such as:
Tests done;
Tests failed (%);
Average vehicle age;
Average testing time;
All individual TQI failure categories (including Brakes, Steering, Suspension, Visibility and more).
This method of analysis allows our clients to spot any testing anomalies (or ‘spikes’) in their data, and quickly work on identifying the cause and, if needed, begin a review and process to control any risk posed to their MOT business.
