Hi morning. Question, As a driver how do you check if a truck your driving has a valid MOT?

[doylee5st]

The trailer should have a plate on it, with the C number on it. Put that number into vehicle check Dvla and it will bring up the date of mot. Unless under 12 months old

MOT is operator responsibility not yours as the driver

[DiDonoven]

just pointing out how little you may know if you're still referring to VOSA. There is no "explanation" needed by the driver if the MOT is expired. If the truck is roadworthy by a "walk around check" the driver has done his job.

It may not be MOT worthy, but our job is to check basics like lights, tyres, wheels, glass and so on and so forth. We're not MOT testers, how can we be in trouble for a failed MOT unless it's something we should absolutely pick up on said walk around check?

DVSA would not confirm driver’s responsibilities for these checks they lie with the operator under licence obligations and PG9 may be issued if stopped with dvsa a no mot or other issue mate

it was changed not long after the need to have a valid mot disc and plate attached to the trailer, somebody had the good sense to accept the driver couldn't easily know and along as he'd done his safety checks its not his responsibility

[peteForReal]

Same way that you check a car. Google check MOT then put in the registration number.

The PMI is the time when the vehicle gets a full check and any defects are fixed to ensure the roadworthiness of the vehicle

[Marty.Asta]

You don’t it’s part of operator compliance insurance mot and tax and services are not the legal responsibility of the driver as the operator has responsibilities and since removal of mot disk it’s impossible to know unless you want to check each unit n trailer separately online

Check mot on gov website you only need reg no

[jo3hnower]

That responsibilities is above your pay grade

[MattWyvee]

That responsibilities is above your pay grade

apart from the fact the driver is responsible for ensuring the road worthiness of his vehicle no MOT not legally road worthy

[jo3hnower]

That responsibilities is above your pay grade

apart from the fact the driver is responsible for ensuring the road worthiness of his vehicle no MOT not legally road worthy

not the drivers responsibility it's the operator's responsibility, and if they don't know when there vehicles are due mot it brings in to question there roadworthiness anyways

[jo3hnower]

That responsibilities is above your pay grade

apart from the fact the driver is responsible for ensuring the road worthiness of his vehicle no MOT not legally road worthy

and if they are inspected, so a day in front of traffic commissioner is due

[adm-sureame]

Dvsa will soon let the operator know if a vehicle is operating without an mot, they pick it up on ANPR cameras and send a letter! Drivers are responsible for checking their vehicle is legal to drive; check my road tax on

[adm-sureame]

https://www.gov.uk/

[adm-sureame]

does not show a commercial mot expiry, therefore use Check my mot history don’t forget to check road tax due date and tacho calibration due date (add 2 years on the sticker that’s in the drivers door shut, for the expiry date)

[AndeTHego]

Who cares crack on till yir pulled fir nae mot or tax then phone the boss man and tell him to get his wallet oot

[hughsWeblog]

There are some apps you can get on your phone that tell you, I have one called Vehicle Check..

[AndeTHego]

Not the drivers problem

[KrisB3pton]

Drive past a dvsa vehicle and they will let you know if its not

[806.patterso]

Plausible deniability. Not your problem, card in stay legal and you will be golden companies liability to ensure MOT etc, show me on your RTA check where it says vehicle has valid MOT?

[Hutch5nden]

Where did you find this truck

[Hutch5nden]

For a trailer there is an id number in the top left corner of the plate that can be googled 'hgv mot' for the truck its the reg.

[montUppone]

Why do you need to know its not your problem, visa will let you know when you get tugged

[montUppone]

Is it on the check list? not your problem

[Silco6asto]

Not your problem simple as that neither is tax/ insurance or operators licence. That’s up to the boss your job to do lorry checks and report defects for instance bald tyre/ brakes / lights/ flashers ect; not working don’t take it out.

[807_octaryam]
