Hauliers who believe their trailers failed their test incorrectly are being encouraged to contact the DVSA after an error was spotted by the enforcement agency, writes Chris Tindall.
It said some trailers fitted with Knorr Bremse Electronic Braking Systems (EBS) may have been incorrectly tested for service efficiency during the roller brake test part of the annual test.
A DVSA spokeswoman said: “This is likely to have only affected a small number of trailers which had a brake test between 1 May and 30 June 2022.
“Any trailers tested before 1 May 2022 and after 30 June 2022 will have been correctly tested.
“Operators can appeal the result if you feel any of your trailers failed the test incorrectly. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
