Fleet Health Checks & Preventative Maintenance Inspection (PMIs)

Spotting a problem before it causes a breakdown is far cheaper and far less disruptive than dealing with one on the roadside. LA Vehicle Services in Longworth offers fleet health checks and planned maintenance inspections, known as PMIs, to catch issues early and keep vehicles legally compliant.

What Is a PMI?

A planned maintenance inspection is a scheduled check carried out at set intervals, often required for commercial vehicles operating under an operator’s licence. It reviews key safety and mechanical components to confirm the vehicle remains roadworthy between full services.

What We Check

• Brakes, tyres, and steering
• Lights, indicators, and electrical systems
• Fluid levels and leaks
• Suspension and exhaust condition
• Bodywork and structural safety points

How Often Are They Needed?

PMI frequency depends on vehicle type, mileage, and usage, though six to eight week intervals are common for vans in regular commercial use. We’ll help establish a suitable schedule for your specific fleet based on how hard each vehicle works.

Why Health Checks Matter

A health check isn’t just about compliance; it’s about catching wear before it turns into a costly repair or an unplanned breakdown. Identifying a worn brake pad or a slow tyre leak during a routine check is far simpler than dealing with the same issue on a motorway hard shoulder.

We’ll provide a clear report after each inspection, flagging anything that needs attention alongside a straightforward explanation of urgency and cost.
