COVID-19: Heavy Vehicle Testing During the Suspension Period

As you are aware, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we’ve taken the decision to suspend heavy goods vehicle (HGV), trailer and public service vehicle (PSV) testing for up to 3 months.

However, there are some instances where we’ll be testing vehicles which are being used to support the COVID-19 response.

These are:

• out-of-service MOT vehicles or trailers being returned to service
• approval of specialist vehicles, including ambulances and fire service vehicles

Some of this testing will be carried out by DVSA staff at ATFs. Operators/vehicle presenters will nominate an ATF based on the location of the vehicles. 

Please continue to visit GOV.UK for the latest information. Once again, we’re grateful for all you’re doing to help keep the country moving throughout this challenging period.
