Upgrading your equipment can breathe new life into your garage, boost business, and keep you ahead of the competition. And in some instances, it’s a legal necessity.

Concept Garage Equipment specialises in MOT bay equipment and is your one-stop shop for a seamless upgrade of any garage or MOT Bay equipment you have or may need.

What Garage Equipment is Required for an MOT Bay?

The specific equipment required for an MOT bay depends on the class of vehicles you intend to test. However, there are some essential pieces of equipment that are common to most MOT bays:

Essential MOT Equipment

• Roller brake tester and/or Decelerometer: Measures the braking efficiency of a vehicle.
• Headlamp beam tester: Checks the alignment of vehicle headlights.
• Emissions analyser: Measures the levels of harmful gas or smoke emitted at the vehicle exhaust.
• MOT Vehicle lift or inspection pit: Provides access to the underside of the vehicle.
• MOT Tools: ancillary essentials that you need for your MOT testing bay, such as Corrosion Assessment Tools (CAT).

Important Note: All MOT equipment must be DVSA approved and regularly calibrated to ensure accurate results.

Concept Garage Equipment can provide comprehensive MOT bay packages tailored to your specific needs, including installation and training.

Upgrading to connected MOT equipment

The future of MOT testing is connected, and for some equipment it’s already a legal requirement:

1. Roller Brake Testers (RBT) – *Connected from 1st October 2019
2. Decelerometers – *Connected from 1st February 2020
3. Diesel Smoke Meters – *Connected from Late spring 2020
4. Exhaust Gas Analysers – *Connected from Late spring 2020
5. Headlamp Beam Testers – We offer the latest Laser Headlamp Aligners

The DVSA is also hoping to include electronic headlight beam testers and connected cameras in the future.

*You must have the above connected equipment, as opposed to the previous unconnected MOT equipment if you:

• Open a new MOT test centre
• Reopen a closed MOT centre (regardless of how long it’s been closed)
• Change of ownership of an MOT centre (where the MOT centre moves from one authorised examiner (AE) to another, even if this is a family member)
• Replace the current MOT equipment and connected alternatives are available and enforced, such as Roller Brake Testers (RBTs)
• Add an extra test lane including new MOT equipment
