July 20, 2026

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.

June 5, 2026

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.
