Carrying out retests
If you have any problems carrying out a retest within the first 10 working days of you using the new MOT testing service please:
- carry out the retest as normal
- record it as a full test as a temporary measure
After this 10 working day window, you’ll be able to carry out retests as normal within the new MOT testing service and record them as retests.
Please be aware that the new MOT testing service has simplified how MOT retests are recorded and you no longer have to define types of retest (eg free, chargeable etc).
