A DVSA site audit is a review of your MOT testing station to ensure you’re meeting all the required compliance standards.

The good news is that as of April 2025, the process has been streamlined. Rather than diving deep into every part of your operation, DVSA now focuses on key compliance checks.

They’ll look at things like

  • whether the authorised entity is still running the site
  • whether your equipment is in good working order
  • if vehicles being tested are actually on-site.

They’ll also reinspect a recently tested vehicle to make sure assessments are being carried out properly.

It’s quicker, less disruptive, and gives the DVSA more time to focus on helping sites that may be struggling.
