MOT Juice has become the go-to choice for large dealer groups. But what makes it so popular? In this blog, we’ll delve into the five key benefits that make MOT Juice the ultimate solution for dealer groups, from enhanced efficiency to improved MOT operations. Let’s take a closer look at why so many industry leaders trust this product for their MOT compliance needs.
1. MOT Compliance KPIs; Centralised Dashboard; Balanced Scorecard
Whenever we go to present MOT Juice to MOT Dealerships, they often have 1 problem in common… No visibility of their compliance status and all too often they only know there’s a problem in their business when they have been issued with a final warning, meaning oftentimes it’s usually too late, giving them zero time to put things right.
The MOT Juice platform allows management complete visibility over their entire business in relation to their MOT compliance, without the need for individual Site Managers to build reports, or visit each site.
Ben Mills, Group Aftersales Manager of JCT600 said this:
Prior to using MOT Juice I managed 35 MOT Test Stations across a vast area using a paper reporting system. I found that this was extremely challenging and it gave us very little in the way of control or visibility in how compliant we were with the DVSA. On top of this every year we had to go through the challenge of sending all of our MOT Testers out of the business for half a day to meet their 3 hours annual training and exam. Although this met the compliance of the DVSA it didn’t appear to be the best approach to running a large number of MOT Test Stations.
MOT Juice was chosen by JCT600 Ltd as it covered every area of the MOT compliance as well as having a monthly training suite which worked very conveniently for the technician to complete in and around their working day, week or month, this also ensures that all of our MOT Testers are regularly kept up to date with the latest information by carrying out the annual DVSA training and CPD training monthly, not just once a year.
Not to mention the saving of four hours per technician not being in the business each year to complete all of their annual training as we have over 200 MOT Testers, this equated to losing 800 productive hours per year as it was worked around any idle or down time as our convenience.
MOT Juice gives us great visibility across the organisation and I know exactly where we are from a compliance perspective – and that is a place of strength when it comes to meeting the requirements of the DVSA.
2. Test Log Analysis; Insights; Invoice Cross-Checking
Being responsible for 200 MOTs a month is tough enough, but when your dealership business is regularly completing over 15,000 MOTs every month, it can be tricky to spot potential risks (such as fraudulent MOTs; MOTs being done too quick; “instant pass” MOTs; even the MOTs where retests aren’t being properly conducted). The MOT Juice Test Log system automatically scours your test log data every month and sends alerts of any dodgy testing patterns that put your business at risk of cessation, allowing you to act quick and responsibly.
Marcus from MKG3000 Mazda said this:
We have been using MOT Juice for sometime now, “how did we live without it”, the system ensures all testers are fully compliant each month without the added stress of ensuring it has been completed, Allowing the management to concentrate in other areas. The support teams are also 1st class.
3. Tester Training, CPD & Annual Assessments – all in one place
The days of sending all your MOT staff off to a classroom-based training course for a day, every year, are long gone.
Quality training can now be delivered to all your testing staff via the MOT Juice e-Learning platform ensuring all your staff are trained to the same standards with complete reporting so you know exactly who’s done what and when – saving you both time and money.
MOT Juice training is broken down into 15-minute monthly chunks, so there’s no need to send testers off-site as their training can be done between MOTs, or during naturally quiet periods (such as the build up to Christmas), saving you thousands of valuable workshop hours. CPD (Continuing Professional Development) keeps MOT testers up-to-date with Special Notices; DVSA publications; Matters of Testing blog posts; changes to testing practices and more throughout the year and keeps everyone informed on current VE hot topics. Our e-learning system has been further developed specifically for the needs of MOT testers, with built in accessibility options making it easier for those with dyslexia to complete.
MOT Juice is also the ONLY industry company offering a free mock exam to all MOT Testers, giving them increased confidence and decreased stress & anxiety heading into their real annual exam – this further saves you cost by not having to purchase additional exam attempts when testers fail due to poor preparation.
Mike Alderman said this:
Last years’ exam almost put an end to my MOT career as I suffer from anxiety and dyslexia and really struggled to get through the exams to the point I was close to giving up. This year with the mock exam available made things so much better for myself. I took the mock exam each day for a week, then on Saturday I took my real exam and didn’t feel anxious or stressed, just relaxed and sailed through the exam with 100% pass mark. Would just like to thank MOT Juice for their help and support.
4. QC Checks, Site Audits & Calibrations all recorded in one place, giving a full picture of compliance
It is the responsibility of the Authorised Examiner to implement a Quality Management System into their MOT operations. This means it’s completely up to the AE to organise things like quality control checks, site audits, equipment calibrations and more.
With MOT Juice, we make it easy for all your MOT sites to see what tasks to complete each month, and provide the tools to log it all in the system. The system also automatically reminds relevant individuals of anything that hasn’t been done on time.
MOT Juice has build an interactive and intuitive interface for completion of QC checks, site audits and equipment calibrations meaning you no longer have to spend large amounts of money paying a third-party company to come in and do this for you and leaving a report that ends up getting lost or covered in oil. All MOT Juice records are stored securely online and available to everyone instantly.
Steven Marsh said this:
Our MOT station has been using MOT Juice since April 2022. We have found the training to be very good and easy to keep us up to date. The ability to have all our certificates and information in one place is second to none. Ensuring compliance, calibrations and everything is up to date is very easy with the dashboard.
In August 2022 we had a site review visit from our VE. With the help of MOT Juice we knew everything was going to be in order and we had answers for any questions our VE had. This stress free visit from our VE we had was worth the subscription cost alone.
5. Extremely popular with Testers & SMs
Of course, no platform is worth any amount of money if it doesn’t work with the end-users. This is why MOT Juice invests heavily in user research and testing to ensure we offer a system that users of all skills can engage with, as well as individuals young and old.
Whether you are an MOT Tester, Site Manager, Regional/Brand Manager or company director, the MOT Juice platform is built to deliver exactly what you need and in a way that fits your business. We regularly get feedback from all levels of users saying how impressed they are with the MOT Juice platform. Here’s a handful of some reviews we’re really proud of (there’s more on our reviews page, or our Google Business page if you fancy a bit more reading):

I use MOT Juice in my professional life and they are absolutely brilliant. The system is truly awesome and helps us keep DVSA compliant by encouraging my NT’s to really own their own roles and the training, checks and awareness of changes needed day to day. Sammy H is a breath of fresh air on IT support and nothing is ever too much trouble.
Shayne Cuthbert said this:
Very happy with the service provided. Running an MOT centre is a bit of a minefield now, with the DVSA happy to give no particular guidance (when previously they did) but very happy to pick up on anything you are doing wrong. MOT Juice makes life much simpler, with everything you need on hand to make sure you get it right. Wouldn’t be without it as being very busy it’s one less thing to think about!
Luke Thorold said this:
My work pays for all of us Testers to use MOT Juice, and I’ve got to say I’m a huge fan. It makes all the annoying stuff easier- there’s a ‘panic button’ included, for if VOSA turn up! All my CPD (including stuff outside of Juice) is tracked, my monthly TQI reviews are easy, and QC checks are seamless, it even lets you upload all the manuals/calibrations for all the equipment. If work didn’t pay for it, I’d do it!. If nothing else, I recommend anyone go avail themselves of their FREE mock exam. An easy 5 stars from me.
John Wallis said this:
If Carlsberg did MOTs it still wouldn’t be as good as the valuable information and help that MOT Juice provide. A great company indeed and highly recommend.
