Find a local Tasker to inspect your van near you

An MOT is a vehicle assessment mandated by the UK government. You need to secure this before you're able to operate a van, either for business or personal purposes. A van MOT ensures your vehicle is safe to be driven on the road. It isn't only vital for your personal welfare but also takes into account the safety of those around you — passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians.

If your van is new, it will need its first MOT after three years. After that, you need to visit van MOT centres near you once every year. If you’re unsure of your status, you can always check it online at www.gov.uk by entering your vehicle's registration number.

Vans can fall under one of two categories. If your van is a private vehicle that can carry 9–13 passengers, it’s covered within Class 4. If it seats 13–16 passengers, then it’s in the Class 5 category.

It can be beneficial to get your van serviced ahead of an MOT. However, it’s ideal to have an expert evaluate it based on areas prioritised by the MOT checklist. Servicing without considering these requirements can lead to costly and unnecessary repairs that won’t really help you secure your van MOT approval.

Car inspection, especially for the purpose of preparing for a van MOT near you, can be difficult when you’re not an expert. You can miss crucial aspects that can affect the status of your MOT. Plus, by hiring a Tasker to do the inspection, you can also readily have them make the necessary repairs in one go.
