[ "MOT TEST AND ITS VARIOUS ASPECTS IN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRYIn the United Kingdom, most vehicles older than three years must pass a MOT (Ministry of Transport, or just MOT). It comprises a check of the vehicle's safety, technological aspects, and exhaust emissions. In Northern Ireland, this requirement is valid for four years. This requirement does not apply to vehicles used on a few small islands with no suitable connection "to a road anywhere in Britain"; similar exemptions were not mentioned in early 2014 for Northern Ireland, which has only one inhabited island, Rathlin; no similar exceptions were mentioned in early 2014. The MOT test, which began in 1960 with a few basic vehicle tests, has since grown to include 20 unique elements or systems in the vehicle.The name comes from the Ministry of Transport, a now-defunct government institution that was a precursor to the current Department of Transportation and is still in use today. Before 1 April 2014, MOT audit certificates were issued by the VOSA; they are now issued by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), which was formed by merging the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA), an executive agency of the Department of Transport. Northern Ireland Drivers and Vehicles Agency issues certificates (DVA). "MOT" is a typical abbreviation for the test and the certificate of accomplishment.Over 20k local car repair workshops in England, Scotland, and Wales are authorised to test and award certifications, with over 65,800 testers. In theory, anyone in the UK can apply to operate a MOT station, but in order to get DVSA certification, the person running the station, as well as the structures, must fulfil minimal requirements outlined on the government website in Form VT01.The examinations are only done in the DVA's own test centres in Northern Ireland, despite the fact that there is currently an open programme aimed at bringing Northern Ireland in line with the rest of the UK.In December 2020, we told you a new safe way to sign in to the MOT Test System (MTS) via your smartphone.If you do not have a smartphone, you can still connect by email or with your existing security card.Chris Price, MOT Policy Officer, is taking a closer look.Starting in mid-February 2021, you can log in to MTS with an authentication application on your smartphone.Why is this happening?We make these changes to improve the safety of MTS and facilitate its use.Using the application or email to authenticate once a day using the app or email will make MTS access faster. Furthermore, new users do not have to wait for a card before accessing the service.When we talked to the testers about the changes, more than half of them told us that their preferred safety method is to use an app.Once the application is configured, you just need to authenticate once a day, which facilitates access to MTS.The system will remember certain details when authentication is performed. If any of these changes, the system invites you to authenticate again, as does a bank.Therefore, if you change the location of the site, like visiting another garage, the system will ask you to authenticate yourself again.When implementing the application, we will stop issuing replacement cards and new security cards. So, from mid-February, if you lose or damage your security card, it will not be replaced. From this point on, you can log in to MTS by e-mail or using the authentication application.Once you have configured the application, you will no longer be able to use the security card.How to configure the applicationWhen the application is launched, these displays will be visible on MTS:Step 1Download an authentication application on your device, such as Authy or Microsoft Authenticator. You can find these via the online search or in the app store.Select "Authentication Application Settings" from your MTS profile.Step 2You will be asked to confirm that you have installed an application on your device.Step 3Using your camera's camera, scan the QR barcode in MTS with the camera on your device and the app generates a 6-digit code for your input.Step 4The setup is now complete and the app can be used to generate a 6-digit code every time you log in to your account.Can I still register with my security card or by email?Existing users can continue to log in by email or with a security card as long as the card continues to work.Once the app is set up, it will replace your security card.New users will not be able to request a security card. Sign-in will be through the application or by email.What happens next?Application authentication will be done from mid-February and we will keep you informed before this happens.When implementing the application, we will remove the option for MTS users to request a new security or replacement card." ]
