Answer
MOT tests are conducted in compliance with The Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 and the Motor Vehicle Testing Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 and the Goods Vehicle Testing Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003, and this existing legislative framework does not provide for vehicle tests to be conducted at private garages. There are no plans to consider changing this legislation.
