Ministry of Transport certificate.
Ministry of Transport (test)
"The Ministry of Transport test (more usually: MOT - pronounced by spelling out the letters) is a mandatory annual test of safety and roadworthiness aspects of vehicles over a certain age in the United Kingdom.
The name derives from the Ministry of Transport, a former UK Government department, and is still officially in use, although the Ministry of Transport no longer exists under that name, and the MOT test certificates are currently issued under the auspices of the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA), an agency within the Department for Transport.
Many local car repair garages throughout the UK are authorised to perform testing and to issue certificates."
Originally M.O.T. stood for Ministry of Transport and should therefore be called an M.O.T. Test rather than just M.O.T.
