HGV WEEKLY CHECKS

Here at Morfa Garage Harlech, we conduct HGV weekly inspections which Include a roller brake tester with print out to keep your records up to date. We also make your HGV vehicles ready for their MOT from the ministry so you get your vehicle back fully roadworthy with a 12-month test.

We've outlined a list of vehicles below and the frequency when checks should occur as recommended by The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

​

  • Lightly loaded Vehicle - Easy Operating Conditions     

    • 13 - 6 Weeks

  • General Haulage

    • 10 - 5 Weeks​

  • Arduous Work - Constant Heavy Loads  

    • 8 - 4 Weeks ​

  • Off-Road - Difficult Conditions

    • 4 Weeks ​

  • Vehicle 12 yrs or older 

    • 6 weeks ​

HGV 6 WEEKLY CHECK?

Essentially, the interval between inspections depends on a number of factors, namely the age, condition and mileage of the vehicle and trailer.

The DVSA strongly encourages any vehicle that has been out of service for some time should always be inspected before use. In addition, any vehicle and trailer that is more than 12 years old should have no longer than a 6-week gap between inspections

WHAT IS A HGV INSPECTION?

When you book your vehicle in for an HGV 6-week inspection, you’re essentially booking your vehicle in for a preventative maintenance check – keeping an eye on the condition of the vehicle and spotting small defects before they become larger and often more costly problems.

Covering all aspects of the vehicle from steering to suspension, brakes to bearings, mirrors, seatbelts, the windscreen, tyres, emissions, wiring, lights etc. the inspection is designed to ensure that at any time a vehicle could pass its MOT.
