The mot centres stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

UK MOT centres + AE-class testers — DVSA-aware scheduling, tester license tracking, classes 1-7 routing, cert + retest. Compliant by design.

01 · Tester license tracking

Every tester current, every class covered.

DVSA-aware register of testers, classes held, expiry dates, annual training due. The lane never opens with the wrong tester rota — the system won't let it.

  • Per-tester class register
  • Expiry & training reminders
  • Annual assessment tracking
  • DVSA portal-friendly
02 · Slot scheduling by class

Class-aware slots, not generic 45-minute blocks.

Class 4 cars, class 7 vans, class 1-2 bikes — different bays, different testers, different durations. The diary respects the distinction so the lane runs at capacity.

  • Class-routed booking
  • Tester-matched slots
  • Garage Hive integration
  • Walk-in capacity buffer
03 · Failure rectification + retest

Fail to retest, on the same hook.

Failure-item list flows straight to the workshop diary, parts ordered, retest slot held within the 10-day window. The free retest you actually deliver, not the one you forget about.

  • Failure-item to job card
  • 10-day retest tracking
  • Parts pre-order on fail
  • Retest slot auto-held
04 · Customer comms

Result, photos, retest link — on the phone.

Pass certificate or fail report sent to phone with photos of every advisory and failure, retest booking link, payment link. The customer leaves with clarity, not a printed sheet.

  • SMS pass/fail result
  • Photo evidence per item
  • One-tap retest booking
  • Payment link in same thread
05 · Recall reminders

DVSA recalls and MOT renewals on cadence.

DVSA MOT-due dates synced for every customer vehicle, renewal cadence (28 days, 14, 7, day-of), manufacturer recall checks layered in. The lane stays full, the customer stays safe.

  • DVSA MOT-due sync
  • Manufacturer recall lookup
  • Multi-touch renewal cadence
  • Per-customer comms log
06 · BrainBase

The MOT manual, the IM updates, indexed.

DVSA Inspection Manual, special-notice updates, common-fail patterns, tester FAQ — searchable from the lane. Junior testers find the right rule, not the wrong one.

  • DVSA IM library
  • Special-notice index
  • Common-fail pattern bank
  • Tester training tracks
Sample engagement

The 2-bay centre that lifted MOT capacity 28%.

Two bays. Three testers. Class 4 + class 7. Diary booked generic 45-min slots.

A 2-bay MOT-and-repair centre booked every MOT as a generic 45-minute slot regardless of class, and ran failure-rectification on a separate WhatsApp chain. Three-week build: class-aware slot routing, tester license register with expiry reminders, failure-to-retest workflow with 10-day tracking, SMS results with photos. Six months in: MOT capacity up 28%, retest book-back rate from 41% to 73%, zero scheduling-rota near-misses.

How we measure: Capacity measured as completed MOTs per available tester-hour, weighted by class, across 2,140 MOTs in the rolling six months versus the prior six-month baseline; retest book-back from the campaign tool with 10-day window enforcement.
