MOT: Vehicle test centre closes over fault in car lifts
- Published
The ´óÏó´«Ã½ has obtained a picture of a crack in a lift at one of the vehicle test centres in Northern Ireland
The MOT centre in Armagh has been closed for repairs after faults were discovered on some car lifts.
It comes after a planned inspection of lifts in DVA test centres in NI.
The Department for Infrastructure said all other centres remain open, but, as a precaution, affected lifts are not being operated.
The ´óÏó´«Ã½ understands that car tests at a number of other centres have been disrupted, including Cookstown and Downpatrick.
The Department said MOT tests are being carried out, although some are being rescheduled and customers are being contacted to re-arrange their bookings.
In a statement, it said centres would "return to normal operating once all affected lifts have been repaired and inspected over the coming days.
"The DVA apologises for any inconvenience to customers."
