MOT Annual Training Topics 2026-2027 Group A

If you test vehicles in both group A and group B, you need to study all the topics. You also need to train for at least 6 hours a year (instead of 3) and take 2 annual assessments. You can watch our video for Class B here.

Preparation is key. Reviewing the latest MOT manuals and guidelines will give you a solid foundation. Many testers find it helpful to attend our onsite training sessions and even attend our refresher courses to boost their confidence.
