Rob JamesDVSA rules state you are not allowed to record cctv images of an MOT test, only a direct unrecorded feed to a viewing area is acceptable.
A clearly identified weatherproof public waiting room or area from which the whole test can be directly observed without interruption, except for road testing (room for 2 seated people is considered sufficient)
A mirror or camera relayed images may be acceptable if all parts of the test can be observed as it would from an enclosed viewing area with window. Consideration should be given to the quality of image produced during variable light conditions.
The use of recording equipment (CCTV) is unacceptable – the observation room or area should be identified by a notice and floor markings if applicable. There should also be a notice in reception indicating the presence of a viewing area.
