The updated charges follow a consultation launched last year, during which the DVSA sought views from drivers, businesses and testing facilities on proposals to revise the maximum amounts that ATFs are permitted to charge customers for the use of their premises. The agency said it would publish a more detailed summary <\/strong>of the consultation responses in due course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Authorised testing facilities are the approved MOT centres responsible for testing heavy goods vehicles, buses, coaches and trailers. From today, these facilities can charge a maximum of \u00a370 for heavy goods vehicle tests, \u00a350 for trailer tests and \u00a390 for buses and coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These figures replace the previous maximum charges of \u00a355 for heavy goods vehicles, \u00a340 for trailers and \u00a370 for buses and coaches. According to the DVSA<\/a>, the revised limits <\/strong>are designed to help authorised testing facilities meet rising costs while enabling them to plan for future testing equipment requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The consultation received more than 630 responses from interested parties. According to the DVSA, 99 per cent of authorised testing facilities supported the proposals, while support also reached 95 per cent among respondents who were both vehicle operators and authorised testing facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Support was lower among vehicle operators alone, although a majority still backed the changes. The consultation found that 62 per cent <\/strong>of vehicle <\/a>operators supported the proposals, exceeding the proportion of respondents who opposed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the revised limits increase the maximum service charges for heavy vehicle testing, they do not alter MOT prices for private cars or motorcycles. According to the DVSA, the maximum MOT fee for cars remains \u00a354.85, while the fee for motorcycles stays at \u00a329.65.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The agency also noted that the revised service charges for authorised testing facilities have not been increased in line with Consumer Prices Index inflation. Had the limits been adjusted to reflect inflation, the maximum charges would have reached \u00a385 for heavy goods vehicles, \u00a362 for trailers and \u00a3108 for buses and coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNew Maximum Charges Introduced for Heavy Vehicle MOT Testing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
