New MOT fees make private HGV test centres more attractive

VOSA has announced a new MOT test fee structure which will make it financially more attractive for hauliers to use new private test facilities. The organisation confirmed that from 1 April, HGV annual test fees at authorised testing facilities (ATFs) and designated premises (DPs) will go down, while those at its official test stations will increase.
Currently, the cost of testing a two axle truck at every test centre is £95. However, from the start of April, the fee to test this this type of lorry at an ATF or DP will drop to £93, while the payment at a VOSA site will rise to £98.
MOTAt the moment, it costs £57 to test a two axle trailer at all sites but from the beginning of April, while the price will fall to £56 at DPs and ATFs, it will go up to £59 at official VOSA centres. The move follows an industry consultation which took place last summer.
VOSA says that for the third year running there are no general price increases for operators, and that the changes will mainly transfer costs between customers.
