HGV and trailer MOT requirements: retrofitted blind spot information systems (BSIS)

8 Aug 2025

Blind spot information systems (BSIS) detect vulnerable road users and alert the driver to their presence or a possible collision.

They can be installed by the manufacturer or retrofitted at a later date.

If you’re retrofitting a BSIS device to an HGV with sideguards, you must install it in the right place. The vehicle will fail its MOT if the BSIS is in the wrong place.
