Annual Conversion Inspection (ACI)
The UK's annual inspection standard for professionally converted vehicles.
What Is ACI?
Protect Your Investment. Keep Your Conversion Performing at Its Best.
Your converted vehicle is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make.
Whether it’s a mobile barbershop, campervan, coffee van, dog grooming van or another specialist vehicle, it’s used every day and naturally wears over time. That’s why we created the Annual Conversion Inspection (ACI).
Think of it like an MOT for your conversion.
While your MOT checks the vehicle itself, the ACI checks everything that makes your conversion work.
Our goal is simple.
To keep your conversion safe, reliable and in excellent condition while helping you avoid expensive repairs in the future.
Why Do I Need an ACI?
Even the highest-quality conversions need maintaining.
Every journey creates vibration.
Every customer walking through the door.
Every cupboard opening and closing.
Every hot summer and freezing winter.
Over time things naturally move and wear.
You may notice:
• Hinges becoming loose
• Sealants beginning to age
• Small cosmetic damage
• Electrical components wearing
• Plumbing fittings loosening
• Doors dropping slightly
• Paintwork needing touching up
These aren’t faults.
They’re simply part of owning a professionally converted vehicle.
The difference is catching these small issues before they become big ones.
Protect Your Business
If your van is your business, every day off the road costs money.
A small issue left unnoticed today could become a much bigger repair tomorrow.
The Annual Conversion Inspection helps identify problems early, giving you time to plan repairs before they interrupt your business.
Instead of reacting to problems, you’re staying ahead of them.
Why We Created the ACI
At Signature Mobile Conversions we don’t just build converted vehicles.
We repair them, Upgrade them, Maintain them, We also inspect and purchase used converted vehicles. Whenever we look at a conversion we always ask the same questions. What electrical system has been fitted? What batteries are installed?How healthy are they? What solar equipment has been used? Has the conversion ever been professionally inspected?
Is there any maintenance history? Most owners simply don’t know.
There are no reports. No inspection history. No maintenance records. Nothing to show how the conversion has been looked after.
We believe that should change.
That’s why we created the Annual Conversion Inspection. To give every converted vehicle a professional maintenance history that protects your investment and gives future buyers confidence.
We Built It. We Know It.
One of the biggest advantages of returning your vehicle to Signature Mobile Conversions is that we already know it inside and out. We know where every cable runs. We know what’s behind every wall. We know how it was built.
Unlike a standard van, you can’t simply remove a panel to inspect wiring or pipework. Everything has been professionally fitted and finished. That’s why we believe the people who built your conversion are the best people to maintain it.

Can You Fail an ACI?
No.
An ACI isn’t a pass or fail inspection.
It’s a professional health check.
If we spot anything that needs attention we’ll simply explain what we’ve found, recommend the best solution and, if you wish, carry out the work for you.

Build a History That Adds Value
When buying a used vehicle, one of the first things people look for is a full service history.
It shows the vehicle has been cared for.
We believe your conversion deserves exactly the same.
Every Annual Conversion Inspection is added to your vehicle’s maintenance history.
Over the years you’ll build a complete record showing your conversion has been professionally inspected, maintained and repaired.
If you ever decide to sell, you’ll have something most converted vehicles don’t.
Proof that your investment has been professionally looked after.
That gives you confidence today and future buyers confidence tomorrow.
