Our team of specialists are ready to help

Our MOT Quality Management Services team are specialists in the delivery of third-party MOT compliance checks of Vehicle Testing Stations and in the assessment of MOT Testing Standards. By carrying out comprehensive Quality Management assessments we can identify potential problems before they are found by the DVSA and can advise on the necessary action required to both maintain and exceed Quality Management standards set by the DVSA, thereby safeguarding the future of your business.

In partnership with the IMI, we provide an online solution to the Annual Training and Assessment requirements for MOT Testers. This virtual facility offers an easy to use and flexible option for Testers, allowing both the Annual Training and Assessment to be completed when and where it suits and fits in with your or your business needs.

Our unique QMS support package also offers exclusive access to MOT Max, our web-based Management Tool for Vehicle Testing Station operators and their Testers. MOT Max provides a means of electronically recording and retrieving details of Equipment Calibrations, in-house Periodic Inspections, Tester Quality Checks and SMTA QMS Assessment Reports. Testers and managers can also use MOT Max to record and maintain details of Annual Training activities in a way that fully satifies DVSA record keeping requirements.
