The Importance of Brake Inspections
Brakes are one of the most critical safety systems on any truck or van, so regular checks are essential for both legal compliance and driver confidence.
Brake inspections should look at pads, discs, callipers, fluid condition, ABS sensors, and handbrake performance. In commercial vehicles, worn brakes do not just affect stopping distance; they also increase tyre wear, put stress on suspension components, and can make journeys unpredictable in wet or busy traffic. A planned inspection helps you fix wear before it becomes dangerous.
Key takeaways
- Protects stopping performance
- Reduces the risk of brake failures
- Catches worn components early
