Applies to England, Scotland and Wales

Tell DVSA you cannot book an HGV, bus or trailer MOT test if both of these apply to you:

  • your MOT expires this month or has already expired
  • you have contacted your local test centres and have been unable to book a test

Start now

Before you start

You will need either your:

  • operator licence number if you have an operator licence
  • vehicle’s number plate (registration number) if you do not have an operator licence

What happens next

DVSA will use the information you give to understand where there is a demand for tests.

They will not be able to respond to every report but may contact you if they can help you book an MOT test at short notice.
