VOSA’s MOT Computerisation has announced that it has carried out over 50 million MOT's. A company in Newcastle was the MOT station that carried out the actual 50th Millionth check on a Ford Focus which was issued with a new MOT.

The success of VOSA's new system with their IT partners Siemens can be appreciated when you consider that 25 million tests took 15 months to register on the system and the second 25 million only 9 months. This was started in 2005 and now is in all 18,700 private MOT stations in the United Kingdom.

This mileage will be shortly made available to the general public and will be a great asset to anti-clocking campaigners such as mycarcheck.com, a subsidiary of CDL Stockport.
