Embracing Digital Innovation:
Reliance Bicester’s Commitment to a Greener Tomorrow
In line with the DVSA’s efforts to reduce paper waste, Reliance Bicester is proud to announce our commitment to a greener future. Starting immediately, we will exclusively adopt the new digital MOT certificates, supporting the environment and enhancing customer convenience.
At Reliance Bicester, we’re not just about ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy; we’re about driving change. In an exciting move towards environmental responsibility, we are now exclusively offering digital MOT certificates. This initiative is not only a nod to modernity but a firm commitment to sustainability.
Why We’re Embracing the Digital Era
The DVSA’s push towards digital certificates is a response to the environmental impact of printing millions of certificates on an annual basis. This shift to digital reflects a growing consciousness about our environmental impact and inspired by the DVSA’s guidelines, outlined in their recent post, we’re reducing our paper footprint, one MOT test at a time.
Advantages of Digital MOT Certificates
- Environmental Conservation: By going paperless, we substantially reduce paper waste, supporting the DVSA’s eco-friendly initiative. Every digital certificate is a tree saved. We’re doing our part in reducing paper waste.
- Immediate Access: Customers can access their digital certificates anytime, ensuring they have their vehicle information when needed.
- Security and Transparency: Digital certificates reduce the risk of forgery and provide up-to-date vehicle information.
- Convenient Access: Lost certificates are a thing of the past. Access your MOT history online, anytime, anywhere.
The Shift to Digital MOT Certificates
Recent developments in MOT testing regulations have made it optional for garages to provide printed MOT pass certificates. The DVSA has recognised the environmental impact of printing millions of MOT certificates annually and is actively encouraging a move towards digital solutions.
Reliance Bicester’s Pledge to Sustainability
Our decision to stop printing MOT certificates is a conscious step towards environmental sustainability. We encourage our customers to join us in this eco-friendly journey.
Accessing Your Digital MOT Certificate
Customers can view and download their MOT certificates through the government’s MOT history service. This secure and convenient online system keeps your vehicle’s records accessible and up-to-date.
Between April 2022 and March 2023, UK garages collectively carried out about 34.5 million light MOTs. And that uses up a lot of paper.
If every test had an A4 certificate printed out, those pieces of paper would:
- cover an area the size of 295 Wembley Stadium pitches
- stretch 4,500 miles if they were placed end-to-end
In fact, it would take 13,800 boxes of A4 paper to print that many certificates. And it takes more than 4,000 trees to create that much new paper.
Conclusion
Our move to digital MOT certificates is part of our broader commitment to sustainability and a more modern service. Reliance Bicester is excited to lead the charge in eco-friendly automotive servicing. So, as we embark on this journey, we invite you to join us. Together, we can drive towards a greener future, proving that responsibility and convenience can coexist harmoniously.
