THOUSANDS of MOT Testing stations subject to a recent Government appraisal have been sent the wrong results, the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF) has revealed.
Â
The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency has recently completed a baseline risk assessment for all 19,000 UK Vehicle Testing Stations (VTS) and VOSA is in the process of sending each station a letter indicating their risk category and score.
Â
However, according to Stephen Coles, Head of the RMIF’s MOT Operations Team, a problem has arisen: ‘Regrettably the VTS details and risk score have been found to be incorrect on a number of letters.
Â
‘VOSA has stated that any VTS receiving a letter dated May 28 with reference numbers IB/C661, IB/C662 or IB/C663, should ignore and destroy this communication. The correct letter will be sent to them in due course.
Â
‘VOSA say that they are looking into the cause of these errors and they hope to be in a position to correctly re-issue the letters later this week.’
Â
RMIF members that are concerned should contact the RMIF’s MOT Operations Team.
