At Rameen Trading Ltd, we specialize in preparing vehicles to pass the local council fitness tests required for taxi and private hire licensing in Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council and Southwest region. Whether you're an individual driver or a fleet operator with vehicles in need to manage, we take care of the entire process — from pre-test inspections to post-test logistics — so your vehicles are road-ready and compliant.

Services

Expert vehicle readiness for taxi licensing.

Council Test Centre Transport

We’ll collect your vehicle, take it to the council’s designated testing centre (e.g., Broad Lane in South Gloucestershire Council or Bristol’ City Councils approved inspection sites), and return it once the test is complete — saving you time and staffing resources.

Repairs & Compliance Fixes

If your vehicle needs repairs to meet council standards (e.g., meter calibration, wheelchair accessibility, emissions), we’ll arrange trusted local services to get it sorted quickly and affordably.

Pre-Test Vehicle Inspections

We inspect your vehicle against council-specific standards to identify issues that could cause failure. This includes checks for MOT compliance, bodywork, emissions, tyres, seatbelts, and more — tailored to each council’s requirements.

Licensing Documentation Support

Fleet Outsourcing Solutions

We assist with gathering required documents such as:- MOT certificate (dated within 4 weeks)- Insurance for hire & amp; reward- V5C registration- Fitness test certificate- Meter calibration certificate

Council-Specific Compliance

Fleet operators often lack the staff to manage multiple vehicle tests. We offer outsourced licensing prep for companies with vehicle licensing needs — ensuring every car is ready, tested, and returned without disrupting your operations.

We keep up with local council rules:- Bristol City Council: Hackney and private hire vehicles must pass safety checks.- South Gloucestershire Council: Vehicles must be under 5 years old and pass a fitness test.
