Brake testing is an essential part of commercial and passenger carrying vehicle business. It is required during mandatory regular safety inspections and records must be kept for 15 months, this is in addition to annual MOT test. Failure to do so can result in fines or loss of ‘O’ licence. Safety inspection frequency can be as little as every 4 weeks and must include a brake test.
