What does a typical roadworthiness inspection include?
- Inspection of all items covered on driver daily walk around checks - lights, tyres, wheel fixings, bodywork, trailer coupling, load and ancillary equipment
- Inspection of all items covered on the statutory annual test
- A comprehensive computer printed report of all items contravening annual test regulations, providing advice on the severity of these defects along with the level of prohibition the defect would attract at a VOSA roadside check
What does a typical maintenance inspection include?
- All items as per the roadworthiness inspection
- The additional benefit of a maintenance inspection is the more in-depth reporting:
- in addition to flagging any contraventions to roadworthiness standards, it also provides a valuable insight into maintenance standards and the general care of the vehicle
- a comprehensive breakdown of all the components checked and a ‘coding’ for each separate area allows you to realise the extent of the condition of the component and its potential to become a defect given time. This then allows you to make provisions for remedial works, as and when the condition of the component becomes in danger of becoming a contravention item
