If you operate a heavier commercial vehicle, a standard Class 4 MOT won’t cut it. That’s where Class 7 MOTs come in—designed specifically for vehicles between 3,000kg and 3,500kg, such as larger vans and light commercial trucks. At LA Autos, we specialise in Class 7 MOT testing, helping ensure your vehicle is not only road-legal but fully capable of handling the heavier demands of commercial use.
Understanding the classification of your vehicle is the first step. You can find your vehicle’s weight listed in the owner’s manual, on the V5 registration document, or by contacting the manufacturer with your VIN number if you’re unsure. This detail is crucial, as it determines which type of MOT your vehicle requires.
Class 7 MOTs cover many of the same safety checks as a Class 4 test—lights, steering, suspension, and emissions—but place additional focus on components that must withstand heavier loads. Tyres, for example, must meet load-bearing standards appropriate for your vehicle, and brakes are inspected to confirm they can handle the extra stopping force required under full load conditions. Structural integrity is also thoroughly checked to ensure the vehicle remains safe and stable under pressure.
Failing to maintain your vehicle to Class 7 standards can result in more than just a failed test. It can lead to legal penalties, increased insurance risks, and costly downtime for your business. That’s why staying ahead of your MOT date is critical.
At LA Autos, we operate a fully equipped MOT bay dedicated to Class 7 testing.
