The Ultimate Guide to HGV MOTs
What you need to know
As an HGV operator, ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy is not just a legal requirement—it’s a key part of maintaining safety and efficiency on the road. One critical component of this is the HGV MOT test. At 123HGV, we’re here to help you understand everything you need to know about the MOT process.
What is an HGV MOT?
An HGV MOT is a mandatory annual test for heavy goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. It’s designed to ensure your vehicle meets safety and environmental standards. Much like a car MOT, this test is vital for maintaining road safety and compliance with legal regulations.
Why is the HGV MOT Important?
Legal Compliance: Driving without a valid MOT can lead to hefty fines and potential vehicle impoundment.
Safety Assurance: Regular testing ensures that your vehicle operates safely, protecting both the driver and other road users.
Minimised Downtime: Catching potential issues early can prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
Improved Efficiency: A well-maintained vehicle runs more smoothly, saving fuel and reducing wear and tear.
