Yes there is a right way to take the photo during the MOT test, and it’s pretty straightforward.
During the MOT Test, the photo should show:
- The vehicle on the ramp (during the under-body inspection stage),
- With the registration plate visible,
- And the whole vehicle in shot if possible.
The aim is to capture a clear visual record that the MOT Test is being done properly. You don’t need fancy camera gear, just a steady hand and a clear shot. Some testers have found that positioning the camera at the front corner of the ramp gets the best angle, even in tight spaces.
