Pre-Contract Extension Inspections

FTA's Pre-Contract Extension Inspections are UKAS accredited and act as an independent third party inspection on behalf of the operator and the supplier. A detailed vehicle condition report provides valuable information prior to the decision to extend the hire period for perhaps a further 12 or 24 months. The inspection comprises of a thorough maintenance, topside and under chassis inspection, followed by an extended road test.

You will benefit from

  • an independent, impartial examination on the condition of the vehicle
  • a prediction of future maintenance costs through the results of the inspection
  • a guide estimate price on any repairs using industry averages
  • peace of mind that your contractual agreements have been met
  • inspections carried out on your premises at a time to suit you

What does a typical inspection include?

  • Full inspection ensuring your vehicles are roadworthy, safe, legal and compliant
  • Assessment of defects caused by damage or misuse
  • Assessment of defects due to fair wear and tear
  • Clear concise computer printed report including two photographs, listing any defects and overall condtion of the vehicles

Options
