Frequently Asked Questions About MOT Disciplinary Action
What should I do if I receive a contemplated disciplinary letter from DVSA?
If you receive a contemplated disciplinary letter from DVSA, or a Vehicle Examiner advises you in person that disciplinary action is being considered, it’s important to understand exactly what the concerns relate to before responding. We can review the circumstances and available evidence, explain the potential implications and help you prepare a clear, evidence-based response. Where appropriate, we can also help identify and implement corrective actions to address the concerns raised.
What happens if DVSA asks me to attend an interview?
If DVSA asks you to attend an interview as part of an investigation, it’s important to understand the concerns being examined and to prepare properly. We can help you review the issues raised, consider the relevant MOT requirements and evidence, and prepare for the questions you may be asked. Where appropriate, we can also attend the interview with you to provide support throughout the process.
What do the points in a DVSA Contemplated Disciplinary Letter mean?
A Contemplated Disciplinary Letter will set out the shortcomings DVSA is considering and the disciplinary points associated with them. The number and nature of those points can have serious implications, with certain disciplinary thresholds potentially resulting in cessation from MOT testing for up to five years. We can review the points cited in the letter, the evidence and circumstances surrounding each shortcoming, and help you understand the potential outcome. Where appropriate, we can also assist you in preparing representations to DVSA and evidencing any corrective action that has been taken.

If you’ve received correspondence from DVSA, been asked to attend an interview, are facing disciplinary action, or simply have concerns about your MOT compliance, speak to us as early as possible. We’ll review the circumstances and give you clear, practical guidance on the next steps.
