DVSA risk-rates every station.

Your garage management system handles bookings and invoicing. Nobody handles the compliance documentation that determines your DVSA risk rating: test quality, equipment calibration, QC250 disciplinary records, tester training. MOTPad handles all of it.

23,000

MOT testing stations in Great Britain. DVSA risk-rates every one. High-risk stations face more frequent inspections, enforcement action, and potential withdrawal of testing authority.

QC250

A QC250 disciplinary record stays on file for three years. Multiple QC250s trigger withdrawal. Tracking test quality and tester performance is not optional.

Calibration

Every piece of MOT equipment must be calibrated within tolerance. Miss a calibration date and your tests are invalid. Spreadsheets do not send alerts.

Without MOTPad

  • Equipment calibration dates tracked in a diary or on stickers
  • QC250 records filed in a folder and never analysed for patterns
  • Tester CPD and annual training logged informally
  • DVSA risk rating unknown until the site assessment arrives
  • Test quality metrics not monitored between site assessments

With MOTPad

  • Calibration schedule per item with alerts at 30, 14, and 7 days before due
  • QC250 register with pattern analysis and tester performance tracking
  • Tester training matrix with CPD hours, annual assessment, and expiry alerts
  • DVSA risk rating self-assessment with evidence from live data
  • Test quality dashboard showing pass/fail rates, common advisory items, and outliers

Nine features. One subscription.

Everything DVSA checks when they visit.

Test Quality Logging

Track pass rates, failure categories, advisory items, and tester performance. Identify outliers before DVSA does. Evidence of active quality monitoring.

Equipment Calibration Tracking

Every MOT item tracked: brake roller, headlamp aligner, emissions analyser, decelerometer. Calibration dates, certificates, next-due alerts. Never test on uncalibrated equipment.

DVSA Risk Rating Prep

AI-generated self-assessment against DVSA site assessment criteria. Evidence pulled from test data, calibration records, and training logs. Know your risk rating before DVSA does.

QC250 Disciplinary Register

Structured log of every QC250 with tester, defect type, outcome, and corrective action. Pattern analysis across testers and defect categories. Three-year retention.

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace our garage management system?

No. Your garage management system handles bookings and invoicing. MOTPad handles the compliance documentation your garage software does not touch: calibration, QC250s, test quality, and DVSA risk rating prep.

How does risk rating prep work?

MOTPad analyses your test data, calibration records, and QC250 history against DVSA site assessment criteria. It scores your readiness and identifies gaps before the assessor arrives.

Can I import calibration dates?

Yes. CSV import for equipment and calibration records. Bulk onboarding in minutes.

Can I export my data?

Yes. CSV and PDF export on all plans. Your data is yours. Cancel any month and take everything with you.

MOTPad is an administrative tool. It generates compliance documentation for authorised examiner review. It does not provide vehicle testing advice. The qualified tester always signs off.
