MOT Photos Trial to Stop Ghost Passes | Sheffield News
Description
Starting this month, thousands of MOT garages across Britain are trialling a new photo verification system to catch cheating inspectors and stop dangerous cars from passing undetected. Random photos of your car during inspection will be uploaded to the official MOT service as proof of presence — no opt-out, no warning, and no access for drivers. The move targets “ghost MOTs” where vehicles skip real checks, keeping unsafe cars off the road. Photos auto-delete after 12 months unless needed for fraud investigations. While inspections stay unchanged, this is a government-backed step to ensure every MOT is legit — and your safety is the priority.
