DVSA Launching ‘manage your vehicle testing’ (MYVT)

10 Dec 2024

Following the launch of the MYVT (manage your vehicle testing) service with engagement from users across the industry DVSA continue to develop new features for the plat form, including the scheduling of ATF testing events on the MYVT.

Whilst a lot of the changes will happen internally, DVSA want to use this change to provide ATFs with a more modern and personalised service to improve how testing events are scheduled.

The heavy vehicle testing review demonstrated that there were concerns about efficiency and availability of tests.  After reviewing feedback, they are confident that the new system will deliver this by:
•    allowing ATFs to request testing events further into the future, without the need to contact us directly
•    creating more flexibility for customers to change testing events online
•    reducing reliance on filling out forms and contacting DVSA by phone
•    creating a self-serve system that is tailored to your individual testing needs

Adding ATF scheduling to MYVT
DVSA have added the ability to view confirmed quarterly testing events for April to June 2025 to the MYVT system, and this will be available by the send of December.  With the addition of new items to the platform DVSA will not send confirmation emails as they have normally.
