Turkey spends £2.25bn on AI-powered MOT system
The overhaul adds cameras, sensors and a central digital platform to assess results, with the Istanbul pilot lab training staff and testing equipment.
- Turkey is rebuilding its 20-year-old vehicle inspection system from the ground up as part of a £2.25 billion transformation centered on AI, automation, and contactless technology.
- The MOI Joint Venture Group won the 2025 international tender, leading the overhaul with partners including the US-based Opus Group, which carries out 30 million inspections annually.
- At the Istanbul Pilot Centre, a 2,500 square metre testing ground, new equipment uses AI-assisted imaging, contactless sensors, and high-resolution cameras to measure tire tread and scan vehicle underbodies.
- Until August 15, 2027, the Istanbul Pilot Centre will operate as a technology laboratory, testing equipment and training staff before standards are rolled out across Turkey.
- The project offers the United Kingdom a large-scale model as the DVSA researches how digital technology could reshape future MOT systems and vehicle inspection networks.
