BrakeCheck For Heavy Vans
Heavy Vans Have the Worst MOT Past Rate in the UK
It has been recently reported that heavy vans have the worst MoT pass rate of any vehicle type seen on UK roads.
Data from the UK's Vehicle and Operator Services Agency show vans between 3.0 and 3.5 tonnes had failure rate 44.7%, the worst of any vehicle in the year 2007-2008.
Stephen Coles, head of the RMIF's MoT technical operations says that high failure rate clearly shows a lack of maintenance. "Owners may not realise that prevention could be cheaper than cure in the long run. This means that with correctly targeted marketing, commercial vehicle repairers could generate new business."
BrakeCheck has been used for many years to test commercial vehilces, used to prove a brake performance standard every 6 weeks on safety inspections, BrakeCheck is cost effective and very easy to use.
