EXETER HGV & PSV AUDITS – PROTECT YOUR OPERATOR LICENCE

Are you risking your reputation — and your HGV or PSV Operator Licence — without realising it?

Operating HGVs (Heavy Goods Vehicles) or PSVs (Passenger Service Vehicles) in Exeter comes with the critical responsibility of maintaining full compliance with DVSA regulations and Traffic Commissioner requirements. At The Transport Consultancy, we deliver independent compliance audits tailored to Exeter transport operators, ensuring your business meets all licensing, driver hours, tachograph, and roadworthiness standards as outlined in the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.

Our professional audits do more than verify compliance — they strengthen your entire operation by reducing risk, improving safety for drivers and passengers, and enhancing operational efficiency. We identify and resolve issues before they escalate and threaten your Operator Licence, helping you stay audit-ready year-round.

Key DVSA updates in 2025 affect Exeter operators, including changes to inspection manuals covering tyre safety, brake efficiency, sideguards, and corruption safeguards. Additionally, new requirements around digital tachographs and driver hours monitoring mean it’s more important than ever to conduct regular, thorough audits to protect your licence.

Regular compliance audits are indispensable for safeguarding your Operator Licence, maintaining an exemplary business reputation, and ensuring operational sustainability in Exeter’s competitive market.

Is your OCRS score red? Exeter operators with a red Operator Compliance Risk Score face increased DVSA inspections and penalties. Our audits help identify issues, correct non-compliance, and maintain a green score to avoid enforcement.

Concerned about a DVSA Desk-Based Assessment?
A Desk-Based Assessment is a paper review of your records and systems by the DVSA to ensure your operator licence is well managed. Failing to meet requirements can lead to fines or licence suspension. Preemptive independent audits in Exeter help identify and fix gaps early, reducing the likelihood of enforcement action.
