Class 7 van MOT in Newbury
Class 7 is the MOT for goods vehicles over 3,000kg and up to 3,500kg design gross weight, which covers most larger panel vans, tippers and dropsides. Our lifts are rated to 4,000kg, so the underside gets a proper inspection.
Does your van need Class 7?
- Design gross weight over 3,000kg and up to 3,500kg: Class 7
- Up to 3,000kg: a Class 4 MOT is the right test
- The weight is on the VIN plate, usually under the bonnet or inside a door frame

What is the difference between a Class 4 and a Class 7 MOT?
The checks are very similar. Class 7 is for heavier goods vehicles, from 3,000kg to 3,500kg design gross weight, and needs equipment rated for that weight.
Do vans need an MOT every year?
Yes. Like a car, a van needs its first MOT at three years old and then one every year.
Should the van be empty for the test?
It does not have to be, but a heavy or unsecured load can stop some checks being carried out. Empty, or lightly loaded and secured, is best.
