Help Centre MOT Compliance Equipment & Calibrations Updating MOT equipment details

I’ve replaced an old piece of equipment with a new one. How do I update my account?

Learning how to update your MOT Juice account when introducing new MOT testing equipment to your operation.
If you’ve replaced a piece of MOT equipment in your MOT centre, you’ll need to update your MOT Juice account to reflect this change. This ensures your records stay accurate and compliant.

It’s important that you add the new equipment before decommissioning the old one, and that both items are recorded under the same equipment type.
How to add & decommission equipment
Step 1: Log in to your MOT Juice account
Go to the MOT Juice website and log in using your account details.

Step 2: Go to the MOT Equipment section
From the left-hand menu, navigate to Staff & Equipment > MOT Equipment. You’ll now see a list of all equipment currently recorded on your account.

Step 3: Add your new equipment
Before removing the old equipment, you must first add the new equipment. To do this:
  • Go to the Quick Actions bar at the top of the page
  • Click Add New Equipment
  • Enter the details for your new equipment
Make sure you select the same equipment type as the item you are replacing. Once completed, save the new equipment.

Step 4: Decommission the old equipment
After adding the new item, locate the old equipment in your list. To remove it:
  • Click on the equipment header or the three dots (•••) next to the item
  • Select Decommission this equipment (shown in red)
  • Enter your password to confirm the action
Your equipment will now be marked as 'decommissioned'.

Step 5: View decommissioned equipment
Once decommissioned, the old equipment will no longer appear in your active list. Instead, it will be moved to the Decommissioned tab.

At the top of the MOT Equipment page, you’ll see three tabs:
  • Test Equipment
  • Generic Equipment
  • Decommissioned
Your old equipment will now be stored under the Decommissioned tab for reference.
Why this process matters
Following this process ensures:
  • Your equipment records stay accurate and up to date
  • You maintain a clear history of replaced equipment
  • Your account remains aligned with compliance requirements
Helpful tip
Always add your replacement equipment first before decommissioning the old one. This prevents gaps in your records and ensures continuity for audits or inspections.
