Summary

Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV), Public service Vehicles (PSV) and heavy trailers require a Roller Brake Test during their Stautory Test (MOT). The computer controlled Roller Brake Tester (RBT) knows how to test the individual vehicles/trailers because a brake code or DTP number is entered. The DTP number contains all the information for the vehicle being tested, for eample: Axle weights Design Gross Vehicle and Train weights Make, Age, etc . This spreadsheet gives all the information that sits behind DTP numbers allocated to HGV only (PSV and Trailers are different) For PSV brake codes, please go to: https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fmedia%2F5dfa046040f0b6093fe76083%2Fwork-out-psv-brake-code.xlsx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK (the excel worksheet may need to be opened in desktop app to work correctly) Note: The information entered into this spreadsheet may be slightly different to that given to the DVSA when the PSV was entered into service - therefore the code may be slightly different to that used at MOT. Best practice would be to take note of the code from the MOT brake printout.
