Guaranteed peace of mind: Inspect a horsebox before you buy

To increase your vehicle’s safety and minimise risk of break down, ERS is working in partnership with the Freight Transport Association to provide independent HGV inspection services.

The pre-purchase inspection service gives you the advice you need to make an informed purchase on a used horsebox.

The FTA team of over 130 qualified engineers carry out over 2,000 inspections every week. This first class inspection provides expert advice for anyone considering buying a motorised horsebox or getting a conversion.

For horsebox owners we can provide a maintenance inspection, as well as a DEFRA inspection and certification service.

As a horsebox owner or owner to be, you benefit from:

  • Detecting defects early to prevent unnecessary repair
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Peace of mind that your vehicle is both safe and legal
