Default MY MOT

Can I get my RV MOT'd anywhere, or do I need a HGV test centre?

RVs are tested the same as cars, you can get a test anywhere that can physically fit you in, it's not an HGV, so it doesn't get an HGV test. By all means use them but I've heard they can be a little pedantic about RVs.

Look for your local council testing centre, where they test their own vehicles, they are obliged to test anyone who asks, the benefit being they have no axe to grind so won't look for faults to create work for themselves.
