Guidance

Report that you cannot book an HGV, bus or trailer MOT

Tell the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) that you cannot book a heavy goods vehicle (HGV), bus or trailer MOT (annual test) before your MOT expires.

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.
