The simple answers is No – MOT testers don’t need additional qualifications to test electric or hybrid vehicles but high-voltage systems must only be done by those with specific training. The key requirement is understanding how to identify these vehicles and follow safe working practices. The DVSA guidance explains how to recognise high-voltage components, what to avoid, and how to reduce risks in the test bay.
