The government has urged all vehicle operators to ensure their vehicles are regularly maintained after a report has found that vehicles are issued 10 times more prohibitions 3 months after their MOTs. In fact DVSA examiners encountered a huge 25 percentage point increase in prohibitions compared to the first month after an MOT.

This data suggests that after the annual MOT test has taken place, adequate vehicle maintenance is not always being sustained.

Furthermore, the data suggests that more than 60% of HGV prohibition defects found at the roadside 3 months after the MOT could have been reported and fixed before beginning a journey.

Our Fleet Management module lets you manage your entire fleet maintenance in one simple platform and the Walkaround module makes it quick and easy for drivers to check vehicles before they set out on their journey, helping you to ensure the safety of your drivers and other road users.
