Somebody needs to understand what they’re looking at, know what normal looks like for their site and testers, and have the confidence to ask questions when something doesn’t add up.” Autotech Training has previously supported a multi-site automotive business which faced serious DVSA disciplinary action following the actions of an individual tester. A subsequent review identified warning signs within its MOT data which, had they been recognised sooner, could have allowed the business to intervene earlier. Rob stresses that effective MOT management is ultimately about supporting good businesses and testers to maintain standards, rather than creating additional layers of administration. “Good MOT management shouldn’t be about adding another burden to an already busy workshop. It’s about making sure responsibility is clear, the right checks are happening, and managers know what to look for. “Most importantly, don’t wait until there’s a DVSA visit or a problem has already surfaced before looking closely at your MOT operation. Giving it regular attention protects the business, supports your testers and helps maintain the standards the MOT scheme is there to deliver.” www.autotechtraining.co.uk www.ms-motorservice.com THERMAL MANAGEMENT AIR CONDITIONING AND ENGINE COOLING
