Emissions Test

An emissions test is crucial to check whether your vehicle is releasing harmful gases into the environment. It's essential for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), which tend to produce more emissions than smaller vehicles.

Regular testing helps keep your vehicle in line with environmental regulations. Bigger engines usually mean more exhaust, so it's crucial to keep up with things.

If you're considering an emissions test Bedford, the team at UK Truck & Plant Group is here to help. Our certified technicians carry out every check with care and precision.

How do We Carry Out an Emissions Test?

At UK Truck & Plant Group, we take the necessary steps to ensure your vehicle isn't releasing more pollutants than it should. High emissions can point to hidden mechanical problems, and it's best to catch them early.

Here's how we go about the test:

• We start by using a diagnostic tool to pick up any fault codes linked to the engine and fuel system.
• Our DVSA-approved team then looks over the codes to pinpoint the issue.
• We use an emissions tester to check smoke levels. This tells us how much harmful gas is coming out of the exhaust.
• The whole exhaust system is inspected for any damage or leaks.
• We also check whether the fuel injectors and air intake system are clear and working correctly.
• Electrical connections and sensors are checked to make sure everything's in good working order.
• Once everything's done, we'll hand you a full report with details of any issues found, along with suggested fixes.

We don't just stop at spotting problems. We also offer reliable, vehicle-specific solutions to get you back on the road with confidence.
