Class 4 Van MOT Testing in Lincoln
We carry out Class 4 MOT testing for applicable vans and light commercial vehicles at our Lincoln MOT centre.
For goods vehicles, Class 4 applies to vehicles with a design gross weight of up to 3,000kg. The vehicle's MOT class should be confirmed before booking, as larger vans may fall into a different MOT class.
Brake Checks
The MOT assesses relevant components of the braking system and braking performance.
Steering & Suspension
Steering and suspension components are inspected for applicable defects, wear and security.
Tyres & Wheels
Tyres are checked for condition, tread and other applicable MOT requirements.
Lights & Electrical Items
Required lamps, warning systems and other relevant electrical items are checked during the test.
Exhaust & Emissions
The exhaust system and applicable emissions requirements form part of the MOT inspection.
Clear MOT Advice
If defects are identified, we explain what has failed, what is advisory and what repair options are available.
Van Servicing in Lincoln
Commercial vehicles can work particularly hard, often covering high mileage, carrying loads and spending significant time in stop-start traffic.
Routine servicing helps maintain reliability and gives our technicians an opportunity to identify wear or developing problems before they result in unnecessary downtime.
Interim Van Service
Oil and filter servicing together with essential checks, particularly useful for higher-mileage vans between more comprehensive services.
Full Van Service
A more comprehensive service including detailed checks of key mechanical and safety-related components.
Major Van Service
A more extensive maintenance service incorporating additional service items according to the vehicle's requirements.
We recommend servicing in accordance with the vehicle's maintenance schedule while also considering mileage and the way the van is used.
Book Your Van MOT & Service Together
If your van's MOT and service are due at a similar time, both can be carried out during the same workshop visit.
For business users in particular, combining routine maintenance can help reduce the number of separate days the vehicle needs to be away from work.

Keeping Business Vans on the Road
For many businesses, a van being off the road means lost time as well as repair costs.
Regular maintenance can help identify items such as tyre wear, brake deterioration, fluid leaks and suspension problems before they develop into more disruptive failures.
We work with privately owned vans as well as business and fleet vehicles from our Lincoln workshop.
Quality Parts for Van Repairs
We use trusted OE and OEM-quality components from established manufacturers wherever appropriate.
The correct oils, filters and components are selected according to the vehicle and engine specification.
