What the service covers

Cleaning supports the inspection, but it does not replace preparation

PWS can clean agreed exterior, wheel, arch, chassis and safely accessible underbody areas before a commercial vehicle is presented for MOT. Vehicle design, condition, clearance and the facilities on site determine what can be reached.

This is a cold-water pressure-washing service, not steam cleaning. It removes accumulated dirt from the agreed areas. Mechanical condition, roadworthiness, inspection and the test result remain the operator's responsibility.

How the work is planned

Work backwards from the booked test

Confirm the vehicle, wash position and required areas early enough for the cleaning to be completed without putting the inspection time at risk.
01

Vehicle details

Share the vehicle type, current condition and any areas the workshop wants prioritised.

02

Access planning

Confirm the wash position, vehicle clearance, lighting, water access and safe working space.

03

Focused cleaning

Cold-water pressure washing is directed at the agreed exterior and accessible inspection areas.

04

Site clean-up

The working area and any agreed wastewater controls are included in the attendance plan.
