Annual Test
The annual test is the compulsory roadworthiness examination for heavy goods vehicles, buses, and trailers, equivalent to the MOT for cars. Conducted at DVSA-authorised testing stations, it includes thorough tyre checks covering tread depth, condition, age, and correct specification. Failure results in the vehicle being taken out of service until defects are rectified.
