Siemens Business Services has successfully established a national MOT database and network linking the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) with all authorised MOT testing stations across Great Britain.
Rollout of the system to all the vehicle testing stations (in excess of 18,000) in Great Britain commenced on 18 April 2005 and was completed on 31 March 2006. Over 16 million tests have been successfully recorded onto the Siemens Business Services developed system.
The MOT Computerisation scheme is the result of a major effort by VOSA to improve road safety and testing standards as well as reduce fraud and simplify administration. The system will also enable VOSA to have access to more detailed information, such as the most common failure point for vehicles, when the busiest time of year is for MOTs or how many tests are processed per day.
The services provided by Siemens Business Services involved the design, build, installation, financing and operation of the MOT computer system. To support the new system, Siemens Business Services has provided training for users, produced and distributed both the MOT Manuals and the Smart Cards used for identification and access to the system. Siemens Business Services has also established two service desks to support users of the system and a Public Enquiry Service for members of the public to check the MOT status and history of vehicles either via the internet or a telephone helpline.
Alex Fiddes, Director Private Vehicles Sector, VOSA commented: MOT computerisation is the single, most exciting change to the MOT scheme since its inception in the 1960s. The new system is a huge achievement for VOSA, our partner Siemens Business Services and the MOT garages the vast majority of whom have welcomed its introduction.
