MOT Garages in Epsom | DVSA Approval and What it Means to the Customer
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is a body that is responsible for maintaining testing legislation and upholding safety and environmental parameters. To legally carry out testing, MOT garages must receive approval from the DVSA. There are certain obligations our company must meet to gain the required approvals, and specific equipment that must be put into place.
Surrey MOTs is proud to be a DVSA-approved MOT garage for Epsom and the surrounding areas. Approval is more than just a licence; it is a hallmark of trust that inspires confidence in our services and, of course, in our inspectors.

Using Approved MOT Garages to Inspect a Vehicle
The law requires all vehicles over three years old to pass the annual MOT test. However, not all garages are allowed to carry out this inspection. Only DVSA-approved MOT garages can legally conduct a test because it involves the regulated checking of components like the brakes, suspension and lights.
Inspections also include the monitoring of emissions.
The DVSA ensures that MOT garages with the correct equipment, training and procedures offer this service only. Surrey MOTs meets the set criteria, following a series of strict standards during every inspection for our Epsom customers.
