CVRT | Colm Burns Commercials Ltd

What is CVRT?

The Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness Test (CVRT) is a roadworthiness test for all commercial vehicles, buses with more than eight passenger seats and ambulances, all over one year old. The CVRT confirms that a vehicle satisfies basic safety standards on the day the test is carried out. It tests what is accessible and visible. It does not confer a warranty as regards the condition of the vehicle. Only when you pass your CVRT will you get your Certificate of Road Worthiness (CRW). Your CRW is required to renew your motor tax.

The CVRT will examine:

Brakes
Lights and markings
Wheels and tyres
Steering and suspension
Chassis and underbody
Tachograph
Speed limiter
Exhaust emissions
Electrical systems
Glass and mirrors

Types of CVRT

There are two types of commercial vehicle tests, one for Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) and one for Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs).

The LCV Test is for:

all small goods vehicles with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 3,500 kg or less

The HCV Test covers all other commercial vehicles including:

goods vehicles over 3,500 kg GVW
goods trailers over 3,500 kg GVW
buses with more than eight passenger seats
ambulances
