When you operate a commercial vehicle or drive a larger car, ensuring it meets legal safety standards becomes even more critical. At Autoveto, we specialize in providing comprehensive MOT testing services for vehicles of all sizes, helping business owners and drivers maintain compliance while keeping their vehicles in peak condition.
What Makes Class 7 Different?
While many drivers are familiar with standard passenger vehicle inspections, commercial and larger vehicles require a more specialized approach. The Class 7 MOT Test is specifically designed for goods vehicles with a maximum weight between 3,000 kg and 3,500 kg. This category typically includes larger vans, small commercial trucks, and ambulances that fall within this weight range.
Understanding which classification your vehicle falls under is essential for legal compliance. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle requires a Class 7 MOT, our knowledgeable team can help determine the correct testing category based on your vehicle’s specifications and weight.
Comprehensive Inspection Standards
The inspection process for commercial vehicles is more rigorous than standard passenger car examinations. Our certified technicians assess a broader range of components and apply stricter standards to ensure your vehicle can safely handle the demands of commercial use.
During the testing process, we examine critical systems including braking efficiency, suspension integrity, steering precision, lighting functionality, and exhaust emissions. We also conduct thorough checks of your vehicle’s structure, looking for any signs of corrosion, damage, or weakness that could compromise safety.
Why Commercial Vehicles Need Specialized Testing
Commercial vehicles typically carry heavier loads, travel longer distances, and experience more intensive use than standard passenger cars. This increased wear and tear means that safety inspections must be even more thorough. Components that might be acceptable on a lighter vehicle may not meet the standards required for commercial use.
At Autoveto, we understand the unique challenges commercial vehicle operators face. Our testing facility is equipped with specialized equipment capable of handling larger, heavier vehicles, and our technicians have extensive experience working with commercial fleets.
