Establishing or modifying an MOT test station in the UK demands precision and strict compliance with Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) regulations. The VT01 form is essential for applying to become an Authorised Examiner (AE), launching a new MOT station, acquiring an existing one, or updating details such as equipment or the AE Designated Manager (AEDM).
Our expert legal team simplifies the VT01 application process, ensuring your submission is accurate, compliant, and efficiently processed.
