For most commercial vehicle operators, the 6-weekly safety inspection is the cornerstone of a compliant maintenance programme. Missing or inadequately documented inspections is one of the most common reasons operators face action from the Traffic Commissioner.

At Truck Services Stechford, we carry out 6-weekly safety inspections to full DVSA standards for trucks, HGVs and trailers across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Every inspection is documented and you receive a written record to keep as part of your maintenance file.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Are 6-weekly inspections a legal requirement?

For most commercial vehicles operating under an operator's licence, regular safety inspections — typically every 6 weeks — are required to demonstrate a compliant maintenance programme. The exact interval can vary.

What does a 6-weekly inspection cost?

2-axle vehicles: £70 + VAT. 3-axle: £75 + VAT. 4-axle: £80 + VAT. Greasing is £5.50 per point. These prices exclude any repairs that may be required.

Do you carry out inspections on trailers as well as trucks?

Yes — we inspect both trucks and trailers. If you need both done at the same visit, call us to arrange a combined appointment.

What documentation do I receive?

You receive a written safety inspection report after every visit. This should be retained in your maintenance file as evidence of a compliant inspection programme.
