MOT testing service status
We’ve introduced a new status page for our MOT digital services, such as MTS and MOT reminders.
The improved status page replaces our existing content on this page
The page hosts real-time information and shows if any of our MOT digital services are not operational, with regular updates on the progress we are making to resolve incidents.
It also provides a live feed of information about those services during periods of planned maintenance.
Getting and entering a contingency code
For information on how to enter contingency codes, take a look at our contingency testing guidance.
To find out how another tester can also enter a contingency test if the original test isn't available, take a look at our guidance on known issues and workarounds for the MOT testing service.
If a contingency code is not displayed above, and it's outside of MOT testing service desk opening hours, email dvsa.motsupport@bjss.com to request a code.
Help and support
The DVSA Customer Service Centres is open Monday to Friday between 7:30 and 6pm.
Telephone: 0300 123 9000.
