Why you need a van check?
Vans provide a practical solution for businesses and tradespeople who need to transport tools, equipment, and materials to job sites. The spacious cargo area and ease of loading and unloading make work vans an efficient and reliable option for those who need to move heavy or bulky items.
As a result of the great work they undertake up and down Britain’s roads, vans may be subject to heavier wear and tear, especially if they are carrying heavy loads or being driven on rough terrain. The type of work that the van is used for can also affect its likelihood of sustaining damage. For example, a van used for construction work may be more likely to sustain dents or scratches from tools or materials, while a van used for delivery may be more prone to minor collisions on the road.
Is a van reliable?
Many work vans are designed to be durable and robust, with features such as reinforced frames, sturdy suspension systems, and durable cargo areas. Regular maintenance and servicing can also help to keep a work van in good condition and minimize the risk of damage or breakdowns. Ultimately, the lifespan and condition of a work van will depend on various factors, including the make and model, how it is used and maintained, and the conditions it is subjected to.
Check van service requirements and maintenance history
A van’s age and historical data, such as MOT, mileage and maintenance history, can provide valuable insight into its general condition. In addition, it will highlight any issues with the van’s brakes, suspension, steering, lights, emissions, and other critical components.
The mileage of a van can also give an indication of its use and condition. Higher mileage vans will likely have been used for extended periods and may be subject to more wear and tear. However, this is not always the case, as a well-maintained van with high mileage may be in better condition than a low-mileage van that has been poorly maintained.
The age of a van is also a factor to consider, as newer vans are likely to have more advanced safety features and technology, as well as improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions – an essential cost-saving check if the van will be used often within London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), or other designated clean air zones across the country.
