Some drivers in Northern Ireland are still struggling to book an MoT despite a record number of tests being carried out in the last six months. The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) said more than 500,000 tests were conducted in the last six months as part of efforts to cut delays. A DfI spokeswoman told BBC News NI testing now exceeds pre-pandemic levels.
Between September last year and the end of February 2023, a total of 506,967 full vehicle tests had been carried out by the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA), she added. 'This increase in capacity has been achieved by adopting a range of measures including the recruitment of additional vehicle examiners, the use of overtime to provide cover for leave and by offering vehicle test appointments on a Sunday and bank holidays, when testing is not normally available,' the DfI said. 'The DVA will keep this notification period under review as it continues to manage the demand for vehicle testing.
