Some motorists in Northern Ireland are still facing long waits for their MOT test, despite a record number of tests being carried out over recent months.
The Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) says it has steadily increased its vehicle testing capacity and is now exceeding pre-Covid levels after MOT tests were suspended several times over the past two years, leaving many drivers facing long waits for appointments.
In some cases, drivers have been unable to get their vehicles tested before their current MOT certificate expires.
