MOT station legal support
VT01 Application Support for MOT Testing Centres
DVSA will not usually process a VT01 application without clear legal confirmation about your premises, lease, planning position and MOT bay. NA Law prepares the solicitor letter and supporting advice so you can submit with confidence.

Get the Solicitor Letter DVSA Needs
Opening or taking over an MOT testing station is document-heavy. The legal letter is not a box-ticking exercise: it needs to confirm that the proposed Authorised Examiner has the right to occupy and use the premises for MOT testing, and that the bay and planning position are consistent with the application.
We review the legal position
We check the lease, planning evidence, entity details and MOT bay information before preparing the confirmation letter.
We keep it practical
You receive a focused letter for DVSA and clear guidance on what you should submit with the VT01 application.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the VT01 solicitor letter cost?
The standard VT01 solicitor confirmation letter is £750 + VAT. If you want a separate early lease or planning review before committing to a site, that is £350 + VAT.
How long does it take?
Our standard turnaround is 5 working days from receipt of the documents we need. If a DVSA deadline is urgent, call us and we will tell you honestly what is achievable.
Can you help before I sign the lease?
Yes. Early review is often sensible because lease restrictions, planning use and bay access issues can be expensive to fix after you have committed to premises.
