If you manage a fleet of commercial vehicles weighing between 3,000 and 3,500kg, they fall under Class 7 MOT regulations and requires a Class 7 MOT test once they reach three years old, with annual testing thereafter. Whether it is a van or a flatbed, keeping a hard-working commercial vehicle roadworthy is essential.
To confirm if your vehicle qualifies for a Class 7 MOT, check your V5C registration document or contact your vehicle manufacturer using your registration number and chassis VIN plate.

The primary goal of a Class 7 MOT is to ensure your commercial vehicle meets minimum road safety standards and remains legally roadworthy.

Checking that all lights, steering, and suspension systems are working correctly
Ensuring all seatbelts operate properly
Inspecting the bodywork for sharp edges or damage
Examining wiper blades for proper function and washer fluid levels
Verifying clear visibility through the windscreen and mirrors
Conducting horn, emissions, fuel system, and tyre checks

Class 7 MOT: FAQs
Our qualified technicians understand how important your vehicle is for your business, so they will make every effort to carry out your commercial vehicle MOT quickly. We aim to have you back on the road as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, in as little as an hour, when possible.
Don't forget that you may need to visit us again if your vehicle fails and you need to book an MOT retest. However, you can increase your chances of a speedy MOT experience by giving your commercial vehicle a full service between tests.
We recommend that you book your vehicle for its Class 7 MOT well ahead of its expiration date. You can have your vehicle MOT tested up to a month (minus 1 day) before its existing MOT expires to preserve the original renewal date.
Get organised
By planning in advance, you'll be able to help manage your workload. Should you learn that your commercial vehicle needs more work than you anticipated, you can then assign different vehicles or drivers accordingly.
Remove your belongings
Before a Class 7 MOT test, we recommend that you remove all tools and personal items from the vehicle. This gives our mechanics unobstructed access, allowing them to test the vehicle more efficiently and increasing your chances of a quick turnaround.
Bring your locking wheel-nut key
If your vehicle has locking wheel nuts, please ensure that they are present when the vehicle is delivered for its Class 7 MOT. This enables efficient inspection of wheels and brakes if we should need to remove the road wheels.
Repairs and replacement parts are not included in the cost of an MOT. However, you can rest assured that when you choose Protyre to carry out a Class 7 MOT, you're in safe hands if it transpires that work should be required to obtain a pass.
We supply and sell one of the largest collections of tyres in the UK. If your vehicle fails its Class 7 MOT test on tyres, we can replace them immediately with either a leading brand like Pirelli or Continental or a budget-friendly alternative of your choice.

An annual Class 7 MOT is a vital safety inspection that ensures your vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition.
It's illegal to drive a vehicle over 3 years old without a valid MOT in the UK, and the penalties for doing so are severe. You could be fined up to £1,000 and receive points on your licence. In some cases, your insurance can be revoked and your vehicle seized.
Don't worry if your vehicle initially fails its Class 7 MOT. From 2023 to 2024, 36.3% of Class 7 vehicles failed the initial MOT test. It's normal for something unexpected to crop up, but we can help you get back on the roads.
If the vehicle fails, there's still time remaining on your existing Class 7 MOT, you can continue using the vehicle provided that no failures have been classified as dangerous. You'll have 10 days grace to have repairs conducted before a retest, and a reduced re-test fee may be applied. There are more details here https://www.gov.uk/getting-an-mot/retests on this.
If your existing MOT has expired, you must not drive the vehicle until the required work has been carried out and the vehicle retested as roadworthy. The only exception is that you are allowed to drive the vehicle to your local garage for a pre-booked retest appointment.
Above all, it's illegal to drive any vehicle without a valid MOT.
Where your commercial vehicle is required to keep your business running, it's imperative that it's kept in a safe and roadworthy condition. A poorly maintained vehicle is not only unsafe but could quickly eat into your profits – and potentially damage your professional reputation.
To ensure that your Class 7 commercial vehicle is roadworthy, book it into your local Protyre garage for a free safety check. If you have such a check done in advance of an MOT, this will help indicate any early areas for concern, allow you the time to respond and minimise any disruption to your business.
