摘要：	MOT Class 7 vehicles in the United Kingdom are defined as commercial vehicles from 3.0 to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight (gvw). In other words, a typical large panel van. Drop below this into the realms of the tradesmen's mobile toolbox coming in under 3.0 tonnes and the vehicle falls into the Class 4 MOT category, which also includes cars. So why is this distinction significant? According to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency's last published data on MOT failure rates at press date (quarter 2 2020), 45% of Class 7 vehicles failed their annual MOT inspection. Of these, 17.6% failed due to defective brakes. Of significant concern, 42.8% of these defective braking systems were categorised 'dangerous' by DVSA. This represents a 100% increase compared with Class 4 vehicles.
