wrong car mot'd

Thanks Baz

You need to contact VOSA to get the test record amended. Testing the car again with the correct reg will still leave the original test on the system.

You will need to take the car & V5 to a local VOSA office by appointment. They will check the VIN, V5, and DVLA record and rectify the reg number & issue a replacment VT20

Nothing nitros, apart from the inconvenience to the customer and VTS in having to take the car to the VOSA/DVSA office for the replacement VT20

Nothing happens as such motman. It just leaves a corrupt test record on the system and a VRM/VIN mismatch anomoly on your Performance Report

It may flag up with DVLA as a VIN/VRM mis-match, in which case they will contact the registered keeeper .........

Good time to check the Testing Guide...
Disciplinary points are flavour of the season for annual assessments.

If you are up front straight off & it was a genuine mistake then likely you will get a telling off but it will go on record. If you've done if before & its on record then stand by for 100 points.

Great in theory but sh*te in practice when your mistake means you issued a VT20 to a car that lives 300 miles away, and yes I've had to deal with that kind of thing 😶

You can't just put the wrong reg in . You have to input the last six digits of the chassis number too . There have been enough warnings flying around over the years about the tester taking the details from the vehicle presented for test rather than taking it off a job card .

Only times I have ever messed up is if the wrong cars has been on the ramp and I have taken it's details and tested it . Not my problem . I tested what was presented .

Using details provided on a job card could result in testing a vehicle using the wrong vehicle ID ..... Not testing the vehicle you have registered for test .

I wouldn't want to be calling the helpdesk and telling them I had just issued a ticket for a vehicle that I thought I had tested but it was a different one that had been in my testing lane . Telling them upfront may help your situation . But your testing and admin procedures will surely be called into question .

There is even a huge hint on screen as you register a test now to tell you what colour car you are testing . 

I’ve had the misfortune of having to sort this issue out, I wasn’t the tester but the AE representative. The key piece of advice, make it known to DVSA the second it is identified. If you don’t, it will bite you in the ass.
