The Importance of Regular Compliance Audits for HGV and PSV Operators
A professional audit does much more than check compliance—it fortifies your entire operation. Key advantages include:
- Regulatory Compliance – Ensure every truck, coach, minibus, or limousine in your Canterbury fleet meets licensing, driver hours, tachograph, and roadworthiness requirements as detailed in the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.
- Safety Assurance – Minimise risks and protect your drivers, passengers, and the public through rigorous compliance verification.
- Operational Efficiency – Optimise route planning, fuel consumption, and maintenance schedules to improve profitability.
- Proactive Risk Management – Identify and resolve potential compliance issues before they jeopardise your Operator Licence or business operations.

What Our HGV & PSV Audits Cover
- Vehicle Maintenance & Roadworthiness – Comprehensive checks of inspections, service logs, and safety compliance.
- Driver Compliance – Thorough review of tachograph data, drivers’ hours, CPC training, and qualifications.

Is Your OCRS Score in the Red?
Being flagged in the red on the DVSA’s Operator Compliance Risk Score means you are subject to more frequent inspections, fines, and risk of licence suspension. Our audits help uncover issues, implement corrective measures, and maintain your green status.
Stay Audit-Ready, Stay Protected
With monthly audits, you can be confident that your records, processes, and vehicles are always prepared for any DVSA inspection.
👉 Don’t wait until enforcement action threatens your licence — protect it today.
Concerned About a DVSA Desk-Based Assessment?
A DVSA Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) is a detailed off-site review of your compliance records and management systems. Failure can result in penalties or licence suspension. Proactive independent audits help identify and close compliance gaps beforehand, reducing the risk of enforcement or DBA selection.

Driver conduct can affect both your drivers and your Operator Licence. Our audits assist Canterbury operators by:
- Demonstrating robust compliance systems.
- Providing impartial evidence of proactive and responsible management.
- Highlighting weaknesses early for corrective action.
