Do you have any MOT testers (NT's)? or are you planning on testing yourself?

I'm not 100% sure but I seem to recall that Grandfather Rights are only available to test stations that are currently testing, or have tested within the previous 12 months. If a station has been closed longer than 12 months it will have to conform to the latest rules and regulations.

There is a guide downloadable here that gives you more information, although some of it is not fully up to date.

Hi potter - some requirements are 'grandfather rights' - some have to meet the latest spec - you would be best advised to contact your nearest VOSA office - maybe the local VE will be able to vist your site for more specific advice suitable to your needs.

If I was to agree with you, that would make us both wrong !
