At Argent Equipment, we're known across Dublin for being the go-to company for your HCV CVRT, bus testing, ambulance CVRT and more. As such, when we're not delivering reliable testing services, we're creating blogs like this one to help educate the public about what we do.

In this article, we examine the defects that are picked during a typical HCV test and how they’re classified. There are a variety of reasons why your commercial vehicle might fail a test like this, each of which falls into a particular category. So, let’s take a moment to look at the three main classifications.

When you’re running a commercial vehicle over a year old on Ireland’s roads, LCV or HCV CVRT testing is an official requirement in order to drive legally. Conducted in order to determine whether the vehicle in question is safe to be driven, it’s something that needs to be conducted every 12 months.

If you’re operating a commercial HGV on Ireland’s roads, then you are obliged to ensure that it’s safe and roadworthy at all times. One such measure is the periodic vehicle inspection that checks a wide range of vehicle elements vital to a well-running heavy goods vehicle.
