At LA Autos, we offer comprehensive Class 7 MOT testing for commercial vehicles weighing between 3,000kg and 3,500kg. If you own a larger van or a vehicle used for commercial purposes, such as a Ford Transit or Mercedes Sprinter, you’ll need a Class 7 MOT to ensure it’s safe and roadworthy.
Class 7 MOTs are different from the standard Class 4 MOT, which is designed for smaller vehicles like cars and lighter vans. The tests are specific to heavier commercial vehicles, focusing on elements that ensure these vehicles are capable of safely carrying the extra load they are designed for. It’s crucial to know your vehicle’s weight, which you can find in the handbook or on your V5 registration document. If you’re unsure, contacting the vehicle manufacturer with your VIN number can also provide the necessary information.
The items checked in a Class 7 MOT are similar to those covered in the Class 4 test, but with additional checks tailored to commercial vehicles. Key areas of inspection include tyres, which must be able to handle the vehicle’s load capacity, and the brakes, ensuring they can cope with the increased demands placed on them by a heavier load. The test will also check the vehicle’s steering, suspension, lights, and overall structural integrity.
Ensuring that your commercial vehicle passes its Class 7 MOT is vital for both safety and legality, keeping your business running smoothly and avoiding fines or penalties. At LA Autos, we have a fully equipped MOT bay and experienced technicians ready to carry out a thorough test on your vehicle, providing you with peace of mind on the road.
