Why get a Pre-CVRT check done on my light commercial vehicle?
Before a commercial vehicle is tested by the Vehicle Testing Network (VTN) under the Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness legislation, it is advisable to have it serviced or checked over beforehand by a qualified mechanic. The inconvenience of having a commercial vehicle fail the CVRT far outweighs the effort of having a vehicle properly serviced and checked over prior to having it tested.
What is checked during a pre-CVRT check?
A pre-CVRT check includes checking the following items and more:
- Lights for correct operation, damage and water ingress
- Bulbs are working and correct colour
- Headlamp alignment and self leveling adjustor operation
- Suspension for visual defects such as worn bushes and linkages
- Brake pads and discs checked for correct minimum thickness
- Brake calipers checked for correct fitment and moving correctly
