“The Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA) recently extended the notification period from which MOT reminder letters are issued to customers to six weeks prior to the test due date. Plans are in place to increase that to seven weeks’ notice from June 14, when the first reminders for vehicles in receipt of the further four-month Temporary Exemption Certificates (TEC) will be issued to bring those vehicles in for a test. We continue to review the entire process in line with public health advice and will do what we can to resume services to their full capacity as quickly as we can, when it is safe to do so.”
