Our office got 20 brand new vans and before I had left they were all in really good nick .

I must admit I really hated seeing the old clapped out vans driven around looking manky and rusty and bashed .

Not a good advert at all when you see what the other delivery people are driving around in .

apparently there are no more vans left out of the fleet of 7000+ that were ordered for the revisions. Any new revisions will be receiving recycled vans from the existing fleet.

We can't even get a van when one of ours needs repaired........not that I care, if the van is not roadworthy it will be signed off the road.

We sometimes get told by managers NOT to log vans off, as they are short of them.
This of course triggers quite a few 'issues' to be found. :whistle

Same story in our DO, we are so short that one of our (spare) vans managed to pass an MOT with a crack in the windscreen that ran from driver's side top corner to the passenger side bottom corner! Do RM MOT their own OMVs?

Technically yes.
Though I think officially repairs/servicing/MOT's etc. are outsourced, to RoMEC maybe.
Used to be all one company, but it's all chopped up, well, nearly all...
