Revision question · Vehicle condition

Why must the tyre inspection on this bus include the less-visible inner tyres?

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

These tyres are more likely to deflate

Damage and pressure loss may be missed if inner tyres are not checked

Blow-outs are more common on these vehicles

Tyre pressures are difficult to maintain

Show the answer

Damage and pressure loss may be missed if inner tyres are not checkedThis was the right answer

Check all tyres, including inner twin tyres, for damage and correct pressure. Unequal twin pressures can cause uneven wear and further damage. The photograph shows a tri-axle bus but does not establish its tyre pressure or prove a puncture.
