TIP ONE: DON'T DELAY

There's no benefit in leaving the completion of your MOT annual training and assessment until the last minute. In fact, delaying could affect your RAG rating. 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
