DVSA predict number of MOTs to be 60% higher than normal in October and November
A recent forecast produced by the DVSA predicted the number of MOTs carried out in October and November will be 60% higher than normal levels.
Their recent ‘Beat the Rush’ campaign caused one million vehicle owners to bring forward their test last month. More than one million MOTs that took place in September weren’t due until October 2020 – January 2021.
The DVSA said: “The key message now is for customers to book their MOT as early as possible. By encouraging customers to book early, we hope you are able to plan effectively for this busy period and maximise the number of MOTs you can complete.
