Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Preventative Maintenance Inspection (PMI)?

A Preventative Maintenance Inspection (PMI) is a thorough examination of commercial vehicles to ensure they meet safety and compliance standards. This vital process helps identify potential issues early, preventing significant problems and costly breakdowns. Our qualified technicians assess key vehicle components like brakes, tyres, suspension, and steering systems. Regular PMIs enhance safety for drivers and comply with legal obligations under your O-licence. By investing in PMIs, you keep your fleet in optimal condition, allowing you to concentrate on your core business.


Why are PMIs important for commercial vehicles?

PMIs help prevent costly breakdowns, identify safety issues early, ensure compliance with regulations, and maintain a reliable fleet.


What paperwork is needed for a PMI?

For a Preventative Maintenance Inspection (PMI), you should have the following paperwork ready: vehicle registration documents to confirm the vehicle’s identity and ownership, previous inspection reports to provide insights into the vehicle's maintenance history, service history records including details of any repairs or services conducted on the vehicle, and O-licence documentation to demonstrate the legal compliance of your commercial operation. Ensuring you have these documents on hand can streamline the inspection process.


How often should PMIs be conducted?

The frequency of PMIs depends on your operational needs and legal requirements, but regular inspections are highly recommended.


What safety checks does an HGV require?

An HGV requires several critical safety checks to ensure it is roadworthy and compliant with legal standards. Key inspections typically include assessing the brakes for effectiveness and wear, checking tyres for tread depth and damage, evaluating the suspension for any wear or damage that could affect handling, ensuring the steering system functions correctly, verifying that all lights, indicators, and reflectors are operational, checking wipers and washers for proper function to ensure visibility in adverse conditions, monitoring oil, coolant, and brake fluid levels, and inspecting the bodywork for structural integrity and removing any potential hazards. Regular checks of these components help to prevent breakdowns and enhance safety on the road.
