Details

If you are an MOT tester, you must complete at least 3 hours of MOT training every year and keep a record of it. You have to keep those records for 5 years.

These documents tell you which training topics you need to have records for if you test:

  • motorcycles (class 1 and 2 - also known as group A)
  • cars and passenger vehicles (class 3, 4, 5 and 7 - also known as group B)

If you test vehicles in both groups, you need records of the training you did in all the topics.

You and the business you work for can be suspended from MOT testing if you do not keep the right records.
