Why Regular Compliance Audits Are Critical for Leicester Operators
Professional audits provide vital benefits that strengthen every aspect of your transport operations:
- Regulatory Compliance — Confirm your entire fleet—including trucks, coaches, buses, minibuses, and limousines—meets required licensing conditions, driver hours limits, tachograph rules, and roadworthiness standards, as defined in the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.
- Safety Assurance — Early identification of hazards and operational risks protect your staff, passengers, and the public, reducing accident and enforcement likelihood.
- Operational Efficiency — Optimise fuel consumption, route planning, and scheduling for maintenance to boost profitability and punctuality.
- Proactive Risk Management — Detect potential non-compliance and resolve issues before they develop into costly enforcement or licence suspension.

What Our Leicester HGV & PSV Compliance Audits Include
- Vehicle Maintenance & Roadworthiness
Reviewing inspection logs, scheduled maintenance, repair records, brake and tyre condition, and overall vehicle compliance with statutory safety standards. - Driver Compliance
Checking tachograph integrity, driver hours limits adherence, CPC training renewals, and qualification verifications to prevent violations. - Licencing & Documentation
Verifying your Operator Licence, insurance documentation, route permits, and complete adherence with DVSA administrative conditions. - Health, Safety & Environment

Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) – From Red to Green
A red OCRS rating heightens your business’s exposure to inspections, penalties, or worse—licence suspension or loss. Our audits identify breaches or weak points reducing your OCRS and work closely with you to enhance compliance measures that return your rating to green, lessening regulatory burdens and enforcement risk.
Preparing for DVSA Desk-Based Assessments
A Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) is a remote DVSA audit reviewing your records and compliance management systems. Non-compliance risks include warnings, fines, or licence suspension. Our audits allow you to find and close weaknesses early, proving to DVSA your operation is well-controlled and compliant, often preventing DBA escalation or enforcement actions.
Driver Conduct Hearings – Protect Your Licence & Business
Driver behaviour strongly impacts licence status. We help Leicester operators by demonstrating robust compliance frameworks, identifying early issues, and providing actionable recommendations to mitigate risks, protecting both driver livelihoods and your Operator Licence.
Monthly Compliance Audit Subscriptions – Ongoing Readiness
Reducing risk means ongoing vigilance. Our monthly audit service keeps your fleet constantly compliant and ready for DVSA inspections, training staff and refining processes so you face no surprises or stress during audits.
