Preventative Maintenance Inspections (PMIs)

A Preventative Maintenance Inspection (PMI) is a detailed safety inspection carried out at regular intervals to ensure commercial vehicles remain roadworthy, compliant and safe to operate.

PMIs form a vital part of every operator's maintenance programme and help businesses meet the requirements of their Operator Licence and DVSA maintenance standards.

Unlike routine servicing, a PMI focuses on identifying wear, damage and potential defects before they become safety issues or lead to expensive repairs.

Regular inspections help to:

• Improve vehicle safety

• Maintain DVSA compliance

• Reduce costly breakdowns

• Minimise vehicle downtime

• Increase vehicle reliability

• Extend vehicle life

• Reduce the likelihood of MOT failures

Every inspection follows a structured process and covers all critical safety components of the vehicle.

Our PMIs include inspection of:

• Braking systems

• Steering components

• Suspension

• Wheels and tyres

• Chassis and bodywork

• Lights and electrical systems

• Mirrors and visibility

• Fuel systems

• Exhaust and emissions

• Air systems

• Fifth wheel couplings

• Trailer connections

• Underbody inspection

• Fluid leaks

• Safety equipment

• Vehicle structure and condition

Every inspection is fully documented, with any defects clearly explained and prioritised, allowing you to make informed maintenance decisions.

Your vehicle inspections are only as good as the people carrying them out.

Our technicians are IRTEC accredited for Large Commercial Vehicles, demonstrating that they have been independently assessed against nationally recognised industry standards for commercial vehicle inspection and maintenance.

IRTEC accreditation gives fleet operators confidence that inspections are completed professionally, consistently and in line with recognised best practice.

Combined with our manufacturer-trained technicians and extensive workshop facilities, you can be confident your vehicles are being maintained by experienced professionals who understand the importance of safety, compliance and vehicle reliability.
