What types of van inspection does FTA offer?

- Maintenance - covers all items contained in a roadworthiness inspection but the report provides information about all the components reviewed, and a state of condition is given, thus allowing pre-planning for future repair and remedial works
- Topside - a walk around inspection reports back on the more cosmetic condition of the vehicle, ensuring that your vehicles are projecting the right public image
- Weight checks - ensures that your vehicles are not operating illegally through axle or complete vehicle overloading
- Ancillary equipment - inspections of equipment such as tail lifts, cranes and specialist bodies
- End of lease - an independent inspection reviewing the vehicle condition at lease expiry. An optional repair estimate can also be included

Pre-contract extension - an independent inspection on behalf of the operator or supplier of hired/leased vehicles prior to the decision to extend the hire period
