I can appreciate that time and location is key to some of you.
Don't shoot me down - I'm simply offering a service which is flexible, affordable and also takes the hassle away from you having to think about what courier to send a unit with, what insurance options are available etc.
As above, if you just want a sticker to satisfy annual assessment, please make sure you are keeping your own records of test results using a checkbox or dedicated circuit to make sure your test results are not deviating.
Perhaps not but in my opinion it's more reliable. A proper instrument calibration is like an mot.. A snapshot at one point in time. After being bashed about on its return journey it can all be a waste of time.. And money!An ongoing accuracy test is nothing like a proper instrument calibration which is conducted under controlled conditions (e.g. temperature). It is not intended to replace calibration.

Exactly what happens when I take my car for an mot!!A calibration is not like an MOT, an MOT is just a comparison against a standard. True calibration is the act of checking against a reference standard and the adjustment of the instrument to be correct.

Yep I get my MFT mot'd, .......cough calibrated every year. Well I don't actually, I use one of those naughty Calcard things, so another year before calibration, sorry I mean mot, no oohh damn itThen your MOT tester is doing it wrong if he makes any alteration to the vehicle as part of the MOT test.
You should report them to VOSA and they will investigate with a high probability of legal action being taken
Ha Ha.
Since this thread has popped to the top again (presumably due to a deleted spam post or similar), I'll just mention that I got Test Meter to do mine over the Christmas break again this year.
And again.
