HGV Inspections
Preventative Maintenance Inspections (PMIs) for HGVs – Maximise Uptime & Compliance
At Woolpit Truck Repairs, we understand that prevention is better than breakdowns. Our Preventative Maintenance Inspections (PMIs) ensure your Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) remain safe, reliable, and fully compliant with DVSA regulations—helping you avoid costly repairs and unexpected downtime.
HGV INSPECTIONS
What is a PMI?
A Preventative Maintenance Inspection (PMI) is a thorough, scheduled check of your HGV’s critical components, including:
✔ Braking System (Including rolling brake tests)
✔ Suspension & Steering
✔ Tyres & Wheels
✔ Lights & Electrical Systems
✔ Engine & Transmission
✔ Exhaust & Emissions
✔ Load Security & Body Condition
Regular PMIs help catch minor issues before they escalate, keeping your fleet running smoothly and legally.
Why Are PMIs Essential for Your Fleet?
🔹 DVSA Compliance – Avoid fines and prohibitions by meeting mandatory maintenance standards.
🔹 Reduced Downtime – Proactive repairs mean fewer roadside breakdowns.
🔹 Lower Long-Term Costs – Early fault detection prevents expensive major repairs.
🔹 Enhanced Safety – Minimises the risk of accidents caused by mechanical failures.
🔹 Extended Vehicle Lifespan – Proper maintenance keeps your HGVs operational for longer.
DVSA Requirements for PMIs
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) expects operators to:
✅ Conduct regular PMIs at intervals based on vehicle usage (typically every 6-12 weeks for high-mileage HGVs).
✅ Keep detailed maintenance records for at least 15 months (DVSA can request these during inspections).
✅ Ensure all defects are promptly repaired and signed off by a qualified technician.
Failure to adhere to PMI schedules can result in DVSA enforcement action, including prohibition notices or operator licence penalties.
