MOT demonstration tests - how to book

From 5th September 2022, there's a new way you book an MOT demonstration test.

This is to help improve our service and make it easier for MOT testers to book a test when they're ready.

What's changing?

Instead of calling the contact centre, you need to fill in the form on the above page. You will be asked for your details, your preferred testing station and to answer a number of questions to check you are ready to take the test.

You will be contacted within 10 working days for a date to take your demonstration test. Please allow 4 weeks for the whole process to be completed.

You can contact us using the information on the booking page if you need to check on the progress of your application.

new testers
current testers adding additional classes
testers returning from suspensions or lapses who have been told they need a demonstration test to go back to testing

Using the form will make the process quicker for you to carry out.

You’ll need your user ID from the MOT testing service.

Sign in to the MOT testing service - you should have created an account when you did your qualification course.
Go to the your profile section and select qualifications.
Add your level 2 MOT testing certificate number, and choose where you want to do the demonstration test - you’ll need the ID number of the training centre or testing station.
Request a test online. You’ll need your user ID from the MOT testing service and the name and ID number of the test location you chose in step 3.
You will receive a call to set a test date - this can take several weeks. If you have not received a call within 4 weeks, you can call us to get an update.

If you are unable to complete the form, please call our contact centre which will be able to assist you. However, they won't be able to advise you on the progress on your application.
