What a DOT and PMI Inspection Really Checks on a Sprinter Van

Why it matters

For commercial Sprinter operators, a failed roadside inspection can put a van out of service and dent your safety record. A periodic maintenance inspection done right keeps the van compliant and, more importantly, safe for your drivers.

What gets inspected

Brakes and brake components, steering and suspension, tires and wheels, lights and reflectors, the exhaust and emissions system, and the frame all get checked. Fluid leaks, worn parts, and anything that could fail on the road are flagged.

We prep Sprinter vans for these inspections by going through the same checklist ahead of time, fixing what would fail, and documenting the work so you have clean records.

Prep beats scramble

Bringing vans in for inspection prep on a schedule is far cheaper than dealing with an out of service order and a driver stuck on the side of the 91. Build it into your Riverside fleet rhythm.
