Written question asked by Joe Robertson (Conservative) on Thursday, 4 December 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 8 December 2025. It was answered by Simon Lightwood (Labour) on Tuesday, 16 December 2025 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Motor Vehicles: Testing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the average waiting time was for MOT appointments in (a) November 2025 and (b) each month since July 2024.
- Answer
-
Neither the Department for Transport nor the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), which administers the MOT scheme, collects or holds data on waiting times for MOT appointments. The MOT test is delivered by a network of around 23,000 privately operated garages across Great Britain. Based on available evidence, there appears to be sufficient capacity within this network to meet demand.
