I thought that MOT had to be done at an approved centre

I also thought Goods/PSV tests were only carried out by DVSA staff?

Is your garage a MOT centre & got the MOT approval for that vehicle class?

You can have a freelance tester. Your site manager will need to add the tester. The tester will then log in and acknowledge the nomination. The tester will also need to be removed if they don't test for more than a couple of weeks. The site manager also needs to be aware of training records and carry out required QC checks.
