WHO CAN USE THE MOT / BBG INSPECTION SYSTEM?

The MOT/BBG system is a national vehicle inspection and safety platform designed to serve multiple users across Somaliland. Each group has specific roles, responsibilities, and access levels within the system.

Understanding who can use the system helps ensure proper use, accountability, and efficiency.

👥 1. Vehicle Owners (Primary Users)

Vehicle owners are the most important users of the system.

They can:

  • Book vehicle inspections

  • View inspection results

  • Receive MOT certificates

  • Check vehicle status and expiry dates

  • Submit complaints or appeals

  • Access vehicle inspection history

Every vehicle owner is responsible for ensuring their vehicle is inspected and compliant.

🏢 2. Authorized Examiners (Garages)

Licensed garages approved by the Ministry will use the system to:

  • Register and manage inspection appointments

  • Conduct vehicle inspections

  • Record inspection results digitally

  • Upload defect reports

  • Issue or process MOT outcomes

Only officially approved centres are allowed to operate in the system.

👨‍🔧 3. Certified Testers

Professional vehicle inspectors (testers) will use the system to:

  • Perform technical inspections

  • Record defects and findings

  • Approve or reject vehicles

  • Follow standardized inspection procedures

Each tester is registered, trained, and monitored within the system.

👮 4. Enforcement Authorities (Police & Regulators)

Traffic police and enforcement officers will have access to:

  • Verify MOT certificate validity

  • Check vehicle compliance in real time

  • Identify expired or failed vehicles

  • Support roadside enforcement

  • Issue penalties for non-compliance

This ensures only safe vehicles remain on the road.

🏛️ 5. Ministry of Transport & Regulators

The Ministry will act as the system administrator and regulator.

They can:

  • Monitor all inspection activities nationwide

  • Approve and license garages

  • Register and manage testers

The Ministry ensures the system operates fairly and effectively.

💻 6. System Administrators (Technical Team)

Authorized IT personnel will manage:

  • System maintenance

  • Data security

  • Platform updates

  • Technical support

They ensure the BBG system runs smoothly and securely.

📊 7. Insurance & Related Stakeholders (Future Integration)

In future phases, other stakeholders may access the system, such as:

  • Insurance companies (to verify vehicle condition)

  • Transport companies

  • Government agencies

This will improve coordination across the transport sector.

⚠️ Important Rule

Only authorized and registered users are allowed to access the system.

Unauthorized use, data manipulation, or misuse of the platform will result in strict penalties.

🎯 Why Multi-User Access Matters

The MOT/BBG system works because all stakeholders are connected:
