The 500th ATF was opened yesterday by DVSA chief executive Alastair Peoples at Daf dealership Chatfields in County Durham.
Marking the occasion Peoples said that almost 93% of truck, trailer and passenger vehicle testing was being conducted at private sites.
He said: “I know local operators and drivers in the County Durham area will quickly see the benefits of having a greater choice of where they can have their vehicles tested.
“ATF customers from across the country tell me they have seen savings on fuel costs, vehicle down-time, lower CO2 emissions and improved first-time pass rates and I expect to hear similar feedback from operators and drivers using this facility,” he added.
