A preventive maintenance check is done every 30,000 miles.

Extensive

This is the most comprehensive HGV servicing option. Often referred to as “C” or “D” services, this category includes several replacements, repairs, and rebuilds.

Preventive Maintenance Inspections (PMIs)

Getting a PMI done by an approved professional or garage in the UK is mandatory. Although the frequency of this inspection depends on several factors, such as vehicle usage, age, and functional conditions, it should generally be performed every 4 to 6 weeks.

Why Should A PMI Be Done?

A PMI is a thorough inspection of critical HGV components, such as:

Getting this done for HGV servicing and repair is essential because it reduces vehicle downtime. A PMI service quickly identifies potential vehicle issues and helps prevent costly repairs. Regular HGV maintenance, like PMI, will also extend the lifespan of the vehicles, thus directly impacting their resale value.
