Heavy Vehicle Condition Assessment (VCA) provides a written assessment on the condition of your vehicle, assessing the items that would be regularly checked in a CoF inspection.

Our inspectors specialise in heavy vehicles so will quickly identify any major issues with your vehicle, detailing exactly what needs to be repaired and what would prevent it from meeting safety standards and passing inspection.

A VCA is not a pre-purchase inspection as it does not all areas of a vehicles condition. For example, it does not check:

  • engine, clutch, gearbox and differential condition
  • lubricant levels and condition
  • brake pad thickness or life expectancy, unless they are visibly below safe limits
  • paint work condition and some rust in non-structural areas.

 

A Certificate of Fitness (CoF) is a regular check to ensure that your vehicle meets required safety standards. It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is up to CoF’s safety standards – not just when you need a new CoF – but at all times.

 

A CoF is not a pre-purchase inspection as it does not all areas of a vehicles condition. For example, it does not check:

  • engine, clutch, gearbox and differential condition
  • lubricant levels and condition
  • brake pad thickness or life expectancy, unless they are visibly below safe limits
  • paint work condition and some rust in non-structural areas.

 

If your vehicle is over 3,500kgs, it is required to have a current CoF at all times. This includes trucks, large trailers, motor homes and horse floats additionally, rental vehicles and all passenger service vehicles including buses, taxis and shuttles.

 

Remember – you need to pass your next CoF inspection before the expiry date on your current label.
