Revision question · Vehicle condition

How often should the components of the fifth-wheel coupling be inspected?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

Every 3000 miles (5000 km)

At the distance or time intervals specified for that coupling

Every 9000 miles (15 000 km)

Every 12 000 miles (20 000 km)

Show the answer

At the distance or time intervals specified for that couplingThis was the right answer

Follow the actual coupling’s specified inspection intervals, including any time or operating-condition limit. JOST documents different conventional, lined and automatic-lubrication arrangements; 10,000 km is not a universal fifth-wheel interval.
