What do Logistics UK's Roadworthiness Inspections cover?
Our Roadworthiness Inspections offer an independent maintenance inspection to fulfil your operator licence obligations by ensuring that your fleet is compliant.
The inspection covers all items that make up the statutory annual test, as well as items that should be covered by driver walkaround checks. It provides you with a full inspection report and discussion with our engineer to help keep you compliant. Typical use is PMI and Audit Inspection for your maintenance provider – as per DVSA’s Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.
Roadworthiness Inspections Plus
Logistics UK also offers a Roadworthiness Plus Inspection, which reports on everything from the Roadworthiness Inspection along with imagery which clearly identifies discretionary repair items and tyre tread depths.
2024 Government data shows that…
-Whilst there has been a steady decline in both initial and final MOT failure rates for HGVs and trailers from 2013/14 to 2023/24, brake system failures have increased recently.
-HGV failure rates rise from 3.3% for vehicles up to 1 year old to 23.9% for those 12+ years old.
-Trailer failure rates increase from 2.7% for new trailers to 15.9% for those 12+ years old.
-Smaller fleets have a greater risk of MOT failure than larger fleets, with single-vehicle fleets having a 17.9% failure rate, compared to larger vehicle fleets with over101 vehicles, which have a much lower rate of 4.1%.
