Our ATF MOT Bays are engineered for heavy-duty operators looking to perform reliable, compliant MOT tests for HGVs and PSVs. Designed to meet strict DVSA standards, our ATF MOT equipment provides the precision, durability, and efficiency required for modern Authorised Testing Facilities. Whether you’re expanding your workshop or building a new ATF site, we offer complete solutions tailored to your operational needs.

What Are ATF MOT Bays? A Complete Guide for HGV & PSV Operators

ATF MOT Bays (Authorised Testing Facilities) are specialist MOT testing environments approved by the DVSA to conduct inspections on Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) and Public Service Vehicles (PSVs). These bays allow commercial workshops and fleet operators to carry out MOT tests internally instead of relying on external test centres.

Equipped with heavy-duty DVSA-compliant machinery  including brake testers, emission testers, lifts, and diagnostic tools, ATF MOT Bays ensure full compliance, faster turnaround times, and enhanced control over vehicle testing operations.

By installing an ATF MOT Bay, operators gain independence, reduce downtime, and strengthen their ability to test, maintain, and certify large vehicles efficiently.

Reduce Vehicle Downtime

Running MOT tests internally prevents delays caused by external scheduling, allowing you to return vehicles to service faster.
