How to Book a Commercial Vehicle CVRT Test in Ireland

Dec 5

If you run a van or truck for work in Ireland, booking a yearly commercial vehicle CVRT is simply part of the routine. You check the calendar, figure out when the vehicle isn’t tied up on a job and try to get a slot that doesn’t pull you off the road for half a day.

The good news is that booking is easy with Argent, whether you’re arranging a test for a single van or managing several vehicles at once. The system is simple, and once your slot is confirmed, everything on the day is handled at the test centre.

How Does the HCV CVRT Booking Process Work?

You can book an HCV test online or by phone, depending on what you’re most comfortable with. Most drivers prefer the website because it lets you choose a date and time straight away, but calling is often better if you’ve some questions you’d like answering before booking.

Before your slot is locked in, you’ll be asked for the essentials. These usually include:

The vehicle registration
The type of test required (LCV, HCV, trailer, etc.)
Your preferred date and contact details
Any notes about access or fleet coordination

Once this information is entered, your booking is confirmed, and you’ll receive a confirmation email and reference number. There’s no extra paperwork to prepare - just bring the vehicle and valid ID when you arrive.

After You’ve Booked: What to Expect

After you’ve booked yourself in, the only thing left is making sure the vehicle can proceed with testing. What we’re talking about are just the basics like working lights, intact mirrors and tyres in safe condition. If the vehicle meets those standards, the inspection will go ahead as planned.

When the test is over, the result will be issued according to the usual system: a pass, a fail or a pass with advisories. Failures come with a window for a retest, which covers only the affected items, not the entire CVRT again.
