Direct contact

HGV247 adds no commission or consumer fee. Confirm attendance, ETA and pricing with the provider you choose.

When this service may help

  • Inspection slot required
  • Temporary maintenance cover needed
  • Additional brake-test capacity needed
  • Defect rectification and reinspection required

Operator responsibility remains

Using an outside provider does not transfer the operator's responsibility for an effective maintenance system. Keep contracts, schedules, inspection records and quality assurance under control.

Ask what the inspection includes

Confirm the current form and standards used, brake-performance assessment, laden-test arrangements, defect notification and who is authorised to sign off work.

Frequently asked questions

Does a safety inspection replace the daily walkaround check?

No. They are different parts of the maintenance system. Follow current DVSA guidance and your operator procedures.

Can inspections be done at my depot?

Some providers offer mobile inspections where facilities, lighting, access and test arrangements are suitable.
