List of Acceptable Equipment
Last updated – July 2014
Please read the notes prior to searching equipment by type
Notes
The equipment listed is acceptable for use during statutory tests conducted in accordance with Motor Vehicle (Tests) Regulations
1981, as amended.
This list shows in alphabetical order the brand names of current equipment. Obsolescent models are shown where applicable.
These may only be used if their specifications are unchanged and they are in a serviceable condition. When viewing equipment on
MOT Computerisation the model description is sometimes difficult to identify as it is displayed using a maximum of 20 characters.
The column headed As displayed on VTS Device will assist in identifying the correct item of equipment.
It must be ensured that the equipment used for statutory testing is maintained in good order and calibrated, if required, in accordance
with current instructions.
This list should be read in conjunction with the MoT Testing Scheme latest Requirements for Authorisation for Authorised Examiners
and Designated Councils for details of test equipment necessary and installation requirements where applicable.
Authorised Testing Facilities: For Authorised Testing Facility (ATF) applications, only equipment on the approved list for Class 5 list
(with the appropriate computer control system) or clearly marked for HGV/PSV testing is acceptable.
The list should be read in conjunction with the requirements contained in the ATF contract document paying particular attention to
Schedule 1: ATF Requirements.
Certain equipment listed is suitable for use at sites requiring authorization as Automated Test Lanes as described in the
Requirements for Authorisation.
In the case of new equipment a copy of the ‘Certificate of Acceptance’, issued by the Vehicle Inspectorate (VI) or the Garage
Equipment Association (GEA) on behalf of VOSA, must be provided by the equipment supplier/installer. The certificate will display
equipment details (which must match the machine’s badge details) such as make, model, serial number and the VTS details. Copies
of certificates for equipment purchased second hand should, in certain cases, be available either from the equipment
manufacturer/supplier or the Garage Equipment Association.
Matters such as value for money, servicing, approved spares availability and compliance with Health and Safety and other relevant
Acts, Regulations Byelaws etc. regarding equipment and its installation are the responsibility of Authorised Examiners or Designated
Councils.
