Keeping You Safe on the Road: Comprehensive Vehicle Safety Inspections at Heathline Commercials Ltd

At Heathline Commercials, we understand that your vehicles aren’t just part of your business - they are your business. Keeping them road safe is critical for compliance, reliability, and the safety of your drivers and other road users. That’s why we offer a comprehensive HGV Safety Checklist, designed specifically for commercial fleets.

Here’s what our detailed inspection includes:

 

  • Cab and Electrical Systems

We thoroughly check your dashboard warning lights, seatbelts, mirrors, windscreen wipers, and interior controls for safe operation. Our technicians also inspect all lighting and electrical systems - including indicators, fog lamps, and hazard lights - to guarantee full functionality.

  •  Brakes, Axles, and Suspension

Your brakes are tested for performance and wear using calibrated brake testing equipment. We also inspect axles, shock absorbers, and air suspension systems for leaks, cracks, or faults. This ensures smooth handling, safe braking, and total road stability.

  •  Steering and Underbody

Steering components are checked for security and responsiveness. Our underbody inspection includes a full assessment of the chassis, frame, and mountings for damage or corrosion — vital for vehicle integrity and long-term safety.

  •  Exhaust, Fuel, and Emission Systems

We examine your fuel lines, tanks, and exhaust systems for leaks, rust, and secure fittings. Proper exhaust operation helps maintain performance and meet environmental emission standards.

  • Tyres, Wheels, and Couplings

Tyres are checked for tread depth, pressure, and sidewall condition, ensuring maximum grip and compliance with legal limits. Wheel security is tested, and we inspect trailer couplings and towing equipment for security and condition.

  • Compliance Confidence – stay aligned with DVSA and operator licence requirements.

A team of budding engineers from Bedlington Academy took the chequered flag in an exciting STEM challenge that saw Year 7 students design, build and race their own rocket-powered cars as part of the national Race to the Line competition. Sponsored by Heathline Commercials, part of our family-run Moody Group, the initiative gave 170 students the chance to put science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) into action by creating high-speed vehicles from bio-compostable foam blocks before launching them down a custom track.
