Motorhomes, caravans, and horseboxes must be serviced regularly to ensure they are safe and roadworthy. The habitation area must also be inspected periodically to ensure everything is safe and operating as it should be.

Additionally, if your vehicle is under warranty, it will require a habitation check and service to keep the warranty valid. Some insurance companies also stipulate that you need regular habitation checks and servicing.

Finally, regular habitation checks and servicing help maintain the value of your vehicle, making it more attractive to prospective buyers.

The Approved Workshop Scheme recommends that your tyres are replaced after every five years of use and no later than seven years from the date of manufacture. This is in accordance with the British Tyre Manufacturers Association (BTMA) guidelines.

However, if your tyres are worn or damaged, they must be replaced immediately.
