Top Van MOT related questions
Yes, a van needs an MOT. These are vehicles, and the MOT is designed to ensure you do what is required to keep them roadworthy, the van MOT makes them safe for you, your passengers, other motorists and pedestrians.
If you’ve had your new van for at least 3 years, it is due for a MOT. Otherwise, it depends on your vehicle registration number. You may enquire about your MOT status online at www.gov.uk.
MOT classes for vans can be one of two categories, depending on its capacity. Your van may fall under the Class 4 category, which includes private vehicles that can accommodate 9-13 passengers. Or it can be in the Class 5 category, which lists private passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 13 to 16.
While it’s a good idea to have your van serviced before its MOT is due, you should have it thoroughly checked but based on what the MOT checklist prioritises. Have your van serviced, but with the standards of the MOT as your guide. If you have your van fixed without knowing the MOT requirements, you risk wasting a lot of money and time on repairs that the MOT may disregard entirely.Â
