Leaving your MOT annual training 2026/27 and the assessment until the final weeks before the 31 March deadline creates more risk than most testers realise.
Online systems can become congested as the deadline approaches, and practical issues such as forgotten logins, expired emails or slow connections can turn a straightforward task into a stressful one.
Attempting the assessment under time pressure can also affect your performance, particularly if you have not had enough time to properly revisit the topics.
Miss the deadline altogether and your authorisation to test is suspended immediately, which means cancelled tests, frustrated customers and lost revenue. Getting it done early removes all of that pressure entirely.
