Keep Commercial Vehicles Roadworthy – Truck Brake Test<\/p>\n

Poor Truck Maintenance A False Economy<\/p>\n

Figures released by VOSA may show a rise in HGV annual test pass rates, but far too many of the lorries and commercial vans in operation in Britain today are below the general roadworthiness expected by VOSA.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the view of Paul Hassall, operations director of Stoke-on-Trent-based commercial vehicle contract hire and fleet management specialist, Prohire Plc.<\/p>\n

Hassall comments: \u201cAccording to VOSA\u2019s latest figures 77.6 per cent of HGVs pass their annual test. The figure is up on previous years, which is encouraging, but it highlights that a sizable minority of vehicles still fail.<\/p>\n

He continues: \u201cThe situation with commercial vans is even more alarming. A recent survey by the FTA showed that the first time MOT failure rate for 3.5 tonne vans is nearly 50 per cent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prohire\u2019s fleet of commercial vans, HGVs and trailers has one of the highest annual test pass rates in the industry. In the 12 months to the end of September 2013, 99.7 per cent of the company\u2019s on-hire fleet passed its annual test via its network of National Service Providers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of our service to clients our engineers undertake regular routine maintenance programmes which flag up any issues before they become too serious, as well as periodic safety inspections on vans\u201d says Hassall.<\/p>\n
