DVSA AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE VISIT PREPARATION

A compliance visit, investigation or public inquiry is far easier to deal with when you already know where the weak points are. A mock audit looks at your operation the way an examiner would.

A mock audit in plain English

A good provider reviews your licence, undertakings, maintenance files, driver records and hours data, then gives you a ranked report. The most urgent issues come first, each with a suggested fix and a realistic timescale.

Earned recognition and beyond

Some operators work towards the DVSA earned recognition scheme, which rewards consistently good compliance with fewer routine checks. A provider can help you judge whether it is realistic and what data you would need to share.

What good support includes

  • Full document and process review against current DVSA guidance
  • A prioritised gap report with owners and dates
  • A briefing for managers and drivers before a visit
  • Help drafting responses to DVSA or the traffic commissioner
  • A follow up review to confirm the gaps have closed

General information only. Operator licensing rules are set by the Office of the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA and can change. Always check the current guidance on GOV.UK. Nothing here is legal advice.

Common questions

What if I have already had a prohibition or a warning letter?
Get help as soon as you can. Early, honest action and evidence of change count for a lot.
Can a provider represent me at a public inquiry?
Some can help you prepare and attend alongside you. If your licence is at serious risk you should also consider specialist transport law advice.
