MOT testers must complete their annual training and pass the assessment by 31 March 2026. If you still haven’t completed your MOT Annual Training and Assessment 2026/2027, we have 5 practical tips that will give you the best chance of passing the test the first time and on time.
TIP ONE: DON’T DELAY
There’s no benefit in leaving the completion of your MOT annual training and assessment until the last minute. Bear in mind that in the past, the system has been slow and crashed due to the amount of people logging in towards the end of March. If this happens again, it could affect you passing in time.
TIP TWO: TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL
Make sure you complete the full 3 hours’ worth of MOT training. Visit Autotech Training to purchase a package. Contractors get it for free. Speak to your contract manager for more info.
TIP THREE: USE THE CTRL + F SHORTCUT
Practice using the Ctrl + F function on your keyboard for the keyword search on the MOT Testing Guide and MOT Inspection Manual.
TIP FOUR: USE THE THREE TABS METHOD
In your web browser have 3 tabs open: one for the test, one for the inspection manual, and one for the MOT Testing Guide.
TIP FIVE: STAY CALM AND DO YOUR BEST
Read the questions thoroughly, stay calm, and double-check your answers.
Failing your MOT annual assessment is simply not an option as it means suspension from your role as an MOT tester, which would have a detrimental effect on your career in the automotive industry.
