A working van is under more stress than most cars. It carries loads, covers higher mileage, and spends a lot of time in stop-start urban traffic. The intervals between services matter more, not less, under those conditions. At KITH Cars Garage in Hackbridge, van servicing follows the manufacturer's own schedule with the correct specification for your specific van, not a compromise that fits a broad range of vehicles.
Ford Transit diesel engines do not take the same oil as a Mercedes Sprinter diesel. VW Transporter TDI engines have different service intervals to Vauxhall Vivaro diesels. Citroen Dispatch and Peugeot Expert engines share a lot, but there are still version-specific requirements. We check the specification for your exact vehicle before every service.
The Class 7 MOT for vans up to 3,500kg is £55 inc VAT. Fixed DVSA price. No additions, no administration charge. Pre-MOT inspections are available and recommended for higher-mileage working vans where a surprise failure on the day means a vehicle out of service until repairs are done.
Van brakes wear faster than car brakes under commercial load. Clutches on high-mileage vans used for deliveries wear faster than clutches on private cars. Tyres on laden vehicles wear unevenly if the alignment is out. These are the items that cause unexpected downtime. Regular inspection catches them before they cause a problem on the road.
PMI inspections at £25+VAT per van are particularly valuable for fleets. A van that fails on a delivery run costs the business far more than the £25 it would have taken to spot the failing brake pad three weeks earlier.
Fleet van accounts are handled through Logkith. Priority scheduling, weekly invoicing and block MOT scheduling are all available. Call 020 4629 9469 to discuss fleet arrangements.
