Using an analysis of information held on our 1link Service Network platform, we’ve found that there were almost 52,000 MOT tests carried out during the month. This is close to the just over 49,000 processed during the most recent pre-Covid September in 2019. Debbie Fox, Commercial Director, said: “There was a slight panic over the summer about the capacity that may be available for fleet MOTs, with the DVSA reporting that more than half a million additional tests would be needed in September because of deferrals. “However, our figures show that this was a very normal month for fleet MOTs and indeed, if you look over the statistics across the entire pandemic, company car and van operators appear to have continued to book MOTs in a relatively normal manner. “There was a significant dip when Covid first hit in April 2019 and then unusually large numbers of bookings in the following September and October that appear to be compensating but, very quickly, the situation normalised.” Debbie said that 1link Service Network was used to manage the service, maintenance and repair of four million company vehicles, so epyx was perhaps better placed than any other source to spot patterns in fleet MOTs. “Our conclusion is that the vast majority of excess MOT demand forecast by the DVSA must have been among private motorists. Fleet MOT patterns appear to be now following a very normal annual pattern and have been for almost the last year.” The content of this blog is for general information purposes only.
