Here are the main topics for the coming year...



2020/21 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT TOPICS

Testers must complete at least three hours of training (16 hours over a rolling five-year period) annually and successfully complete the annual assessment.

The topics testers need to study depend on whether they test class 1 and 2 vehicles (‘Group A’) or class 3, 4, 5 and 7 vehicles (‘Group B’).

Some topics are studied by both Groups.

In addition to the usual questions from the inspection manuals, a number of questions are taken from subjects and information available in the MOT Testers Guide, so testers will need to be familiar with both.

Group A

For Group A, testers need to know about:

The requirements in regard to the issue of various documentation including:

Replacement and Duplicate documentation
Contingency Documentation
Refusing a test
Cancelling a test (abandon/abort)
Dealing with a vehicle has been issued with a prohibition notice?
Dealing with a vehicle that has been issued with a notice under the Police Vehicle Defect Rectification Scheme (VDRS)
Recording of vehicles with no current MOT
Postdating of a VT20
Retest procedures
The disciplinary points system:

What are the disciplinary points and how can they arise?
Who can be issued with disciplinary points?
How disciplinary points can affect the individual/VTS
