Following the successful national pilot scheme in 2006 Peterborough City Council has retained responsibility for safety issues in motor vehicle repair workshops.  This work has previously been performed by Health and Safety Executive (HSE) inspectors. 

MVR and associated industries cover activities such as the maintenance and repair (including tyre, exhaust, windscreen etc replacement); body repair, refinishing and valeting; and MOT testing.
 
In 2001, it was estimated that the MVR industry in the UK employed just over 170,000 people in about 44,000 businesses.
