Does the issuing of an MOT certificate cover the 8-week inspection or do I need a separate 8-week, Inspection sheet?

Post by Girskyiv »

If a PSV has an MOT due date and an 8-week Inspection date within a couple of days of each other, can the two be completed at the same time or do they need to be different entities? Does the issuing of an MOT certificate cover the 8-week inspection or do I need a separate 8-week, Inspection sheet? Thanks in advance

An MOT does not override a PMI, both should be completed, a good idea is to use your pre mot inspection as the PMI (get it documented) that way you don’t need to take the vehicle of the road the following week for its PMI.

suggested 6 can be 4 as well if is working day and night and the mileage is high is always depends how you use it, if I have a vehicle that does 1000-2.000 miles a month I’ll put it 13 weeks

oh wait…if you want to change the the inspection days you need to change it on the o license as well…maybe you’ll be asked why? If you use a bus only for weddings like two a month or maybe 0 you don’t put it 6 weeks inspection…on the other hand if you have a bus working 24 hours is better to reduce it to 4 weeks

Always remember that an MOT only declares the vehicle roadworthy at the precise moment that it is issued. A PMI should be a reasonable assurance that the vehicle is expected to remain roadworthy at least until the date of the next inspection, hence an MOT could never take the place of a PMI.

Had the same question 2 weeks ago, but our provider said that MOT doesn't pass over the PMI!
It should be done additional as is scheduled!

You need to do both.
Best to do the PMI as the Pre MOT check.

We always plan an inspection a couple of days before an MOT, this means we should have no problem passing the MOT. A failed MOT affects your scores but it also shows that the person doing your inspections may not be doing the job correctly.
