What to do if a vehicle has been

issued with a prohibition notice (PG9)

If a prohibition notice is issued to a vehicle of a class which requires a test certificate, or

which would normally only require a test certificate if it was older, that notice can be
lifted only through the following procedure:

A. the defect or defects noted on the prohibition notice must be remedied - as must
any other defects that would prevent the vehicle from passing an MOT test;

B. the vehicle must be submitted for and pass a normal MOT test which has to be
carried out by a suitable VTS in the normal way and have a test certificate issued;

C. the test certificate must be presented at any Police station together with the PG9;

D. the Police will issue a clearance notice (PG10) removing the prohibition;

E. if the PG9 was issued by a DVSA Examiner, the vehicle owner or operator must

notify DVSA's via the Customer Service Centre that the prohibition has been cleared.
