MOT testers must complete training and pass the 2019-20 assessment before the end of April.
This year’s deadline was extended because of the coronavirus outbreak.
MOT tester status will be suspended if individuals do not pass the annual assessment.
The official deadline to complete annual training and assessment had been 31 March.
Every year, all 63,000 MOT testers must carry out training and assessment on set topics to make sure they are competent and safe to carry out MOTs.
Testers need to do at least three hours of training each year and a total of 16 hours in five years.
The pass mark for the current assessment is 70 per cent but it will increase to 80 per cent for 2020 to 2021 assessments.
The assessment consists of 30 multiple-choice questions and usually takes around 45 minutes to complete.
