The Driver and Vehicle Agency says it has steadily increased its vehicle testing capacity. Here's the latest
The Driver and Vehicle Agency says it has steadily increased its vehicle testing capacity to pre-Covid levels as MOT centres across Northern Ireland continue to tackle huge backlogs of drivers seeking appointments.
Cracks in vehicle lifts were first detected the previous November but the problem rapidly escalated in January when all Northern Ireland MOT tests - of which there are usually around 1,500 per day - were suspended after cracks were found in 52 of the 55 vehicle lifts in the 15 test centres across the region.
The Department for Infrastructure later confirmed it was spending £1.8m on the installation of 52 new lifts for MoT centres, work which was completed in October 2020.
The DfI spokesperson added: “If they get to within five days of the expiry date of their vehicle tax and they have been unable to secure an appointment or their vehicle tax has expired, they should contact the DVA Customer Services team at dva.customerservices@infrastructure-ni.gov.uk and they will do their best to get an urgent appointment for the vehicle.
