Every vehicle test, graded pass or fail automatically
Garage Vehicle Testing & MOT brings MOT / periodic inspection and seven diagnostic disciplines into one Odoo app, with automatic threshold pass/fail, advisory-to-quote and a built-in recall engine.
The problem
MOT, emissions, brake, compression, coolant, DPF, battery and injector results get captured on paper sheets, OEM scan-tool printouts or freeform notes — disconnected from the vehicle history, with no one checking the reading against the actual regulatory limit. Fail results are logged and forgotten: no advisory, no quote, no reminder when the retest or flush interval comes due.
The solution
One record type captures all eight disciplines with progressive disclosure, so mechanics only see the fields that matter. Every headline reading is checked against a maintained threshold library and graded OK, Advisory or Fail in real time, failed and advisory items convert straight into a sales quotation, and a recall engine schedules MOT, emissions, coolant and DPF follow-ups automatically.
Everything a test bay needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Eight test disciplines, one app
MOT / periodic inspection plus battery, brake, compression, coolant, DPF, emissions and injector testing all live on one test record, with only the relevant fields shown per test type.
Automatic threshold pass/fail
Headline readings are checked live against a maintained regulatory and OEM limit library by vehicle fuel type and year, and graded OK, Advisory or Fail — no more relying on mechanic memory.
Advisory-to-quotation workflow
Failed and advisory items are logged as advisory lines with a suggested product and price; one click turns the flagged lines into a sales quotation linked back to the test.
Automated recall and retest engine
Completing a test schedules the next MOT, emissions retest, coolant flush or DPF service automatically, including the 28-day MOT free-retest deadline, with daily reminder emails and booked/closed tracking.
Reusable checklist templates
Categorised MOT and periodic inspection checklist templates with inspector guidance load straight onto a test with one click, keeping every technician consistent.
Analyzer calibration tracking
Record the calibration date and interval for every tester or analyzer and get a due-soon or expired warning before it invalidates a result.
Branded PDF test certificate
Generate a customer-ready certificate with the vehicle, test class, readings against their limits, advisories and checklist results for handover and audit.
Per-vehicle trending
Pivot and graph reporting grouped by vehicle and month surfaces decline across repeat tests, such as a slow drop in compression or a rising emissions reading.
Full audit trail and sequencing
Every test, vehicle and recall carries a sequential reference and a complete chatter history of who changed what and when, with multi-company and role-based access out of the box.
How it works
Log the vehicle
Record the registration, VIN, make, model, year and fuel type once; every later test attaches to this vehicle record.
Capture the test
Pick a test type, enter readings or load a checklist template, and watch the pass/advisory/fail status appear against the live threshold.
Quote the fails
Flag failed or advisory items, then generate a linked sales quotation in one click to turn the result into booked work.
Confirm and move on
Mark the test done to post the certificate and let the recall engine schedule the next MOT, retest or service interval automatically.
