Why is DVTA carrying out roadside vehicle checks if vehicles are annually MOT tested?
An MOT Vehicle Test Certificate does not mean that your vehicle is roadworthy for a year. Studies have shown that most vehicles develop defects shortly after an MOT Test Certificate is issued. By carrying out roadside vehicle checks, DVA are seeking to encourage vehicle owners to carry out regular maintenance on their vehicles to ensure that they are roadworthy every time they are used on the road.
