What is a Class 7 MOT?

A Class 7 MOT is the annual roadworthiness test for light commercial vehicles in the 3,000–3,500 kg DGW range. It checks safety-critical items and emissions to meet UK legal standards. Driving without a valid MOT risks fines, invalid insurance, and unplanned downtime—the last thing any business needs.

What’s Included in a Class 7 MOT?

• Brakes & Brake Balance: Pads, discs, hoses, lines and handbrake efficiency for heavier loads.
• Tyres & Wheels: Legal tread (min 1.6 mm), correct load rating, tyre condition, wheel security.
• Lights & Indicators: Headlamp aim, brake lights, indicators, hazards, number-plate illumination.
• Steering & Suspension: Steering play, track-rod ends, springs, shocks, bushes (LCV wear points).
• Exhaust & Emissions: Leaks, smoke, DPF/after-treatment performance for diesel vans.
• Body, Doors & Load Area – Excess corrosion in prescribed areas, door/hinge/latch security, safe access.
• Windscreen, Wipers & Washers – Clear driver view, chip/crack limits, effective washers.
• Seatbelts & Seats – Condition and operation of belts and anchor points.
• VIN, Plates & Horn – ID visibility, legal plates, audible horn.

Note: The MOT isn’t a mechanical service. For best pass rates, pair it with regular servicing and pre-checks—especially on high-mileage vans.
