DVSA has contacted the owners of the affected vehicles advising them to get their vehicle re-tested.
There are many personalities out there in the trade and the public domain. It’s all well and good DVSA dreaming up the ideas like once a test certificate is issued it can’t be cancelled and it will run until the expiry date, and then ADVISING owners to get their vehicles retested at more expense to them, which I just can’t see that happening can you!
When I test certificate has been issued and DVSA know that certificate like in these examples has been fraudulently issued, DVSA should have the means and authority available to contact the owners and tell them the MOT certificate issued to their vehicle has been done so by actions of fraud and therefore is now with immediate effect VOID from further use.
If a person did know that the certificate was issued by means of fraud and that person also knows that certificate cannot be cancelled until it expires, then put yourself in the shoes of the person who knows about the certificate, would you think that person will go and get another genuine MOT on their vehicle?
