For van drivers and fleet operators, roadworthiness is not only about passing the annual truck or Van CVRT. Vehicle defects can also be picked up during roadside checks, and the consequences can include fines, penalty points, court appearances and time off the road.

Recent warnings put out by the RSA have put tyre faults and commercial vehicle compliance very much back in focus. For businesses that rely on vans every day, a small defect can quickly become an issue if it is not dealt with early.

At Argent, we aim to make the whole process of annual commercial vehicle testing a simple and stress-free one. Follow the guidelines laid out here today, and you stand a much better chance of flying through your CVRT and getting on with your day.
