What to expect from a Wolverhampton City Council private hire vehicle inspection. Requirements, how to prepare and what causes vehicles to fail.
The inspection covers: roadworthiness, bodywork condition, interior cleanliness, safety equipment (first aid kit, fire extinguisher may be required), tyres, lights, brakes, MOT validity, and age/emissions compliance.
Common failure reasons: tyres below legal minimum, dirty or damaged interior, non-compliant age, missing safety equipment, warning lights on dashboard, or expired MOT.
SMV vehicles are pre-inspected and maintained to Wolverhampton City Council standards. Speak to our team about current licensing arrangements for rental vehicles.
