Motor Vehicles: Testing

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the average investment on equipment made by an MOT garage to carry out MOT tests on (a) private and (b) commercial vehicles.
Answer

The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) is responsible for the supervision of the MOT scheme. VOSA authorises a range of equipment for use when carrying out MOT tests. However, the equipment purchased remains a business decision for the MOT garage owner. VOSA does not hold records of the expenditure of MOT garages, therefore, no estimate is available.
