So Bedford have done their best to beat it for you. Two ways. By building Britain's toughest trucks. And by operating a 500-unit Exchange Service.

Then there's Bedford's 100 Test Centres, equipped to test your vehicles in accordance with the M.o.T. inspection card. And to correct faults at a time that suits your schedule. Not the Ministry's.
