Why Compliance Audits Matter for HGV and PSV Operators in Peterborough
Our professional audits do more than merely check for compliance; they help build a stronger, safer, and more efficient transport operation by offering the following benefits:
- ✅ Regulatory Compliance — Every vehicle in your fleet, whether trucks, buses, coaches, minibuses, or limousines, must meet rigorous licensing, driver hours, tachograph, and roadworthiness standards as instructed by the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.
- ✅ Safety Enhancement — Identifying and addressing safety risks early protects your drivers, passengers, and public while reducing accident and enforcement risks.
- ✅ Operational Efficiency — By analysing fuel use, route planning, and maintenance regimens, our audits help cut costs, reduce downtime, and improve service reliability.
- ✅ Proactive Risk Mitigation — Spotting and fixing compliance issues before they escalate helps avoid licence downgrades, suspensions, or revocations.

What Our Peterborough HGV & PSV Audits Include
- Vehicle Maintenance & Roadworthiness
In-depth analysis of maintenance logs, inspection reports, and servicing schedules to ensure vehicles are safe, compliant, and well-maintained. - Driver Compliance
Assessment of tachograph accuracy, drivers’ hours records, Driver CPC certification status, and ongoing driver qualification monitoring. - Licensing & Documentation
Verification of all relevant Operator Licence documents, insurance certificates, route permits, and compliance filings. - Health, Safety & Environmental Compliance
Review of accident records, emergency response procedures, driver welfare initiatives, and your fleet’s environmental impact policies. - Financial & Operational Management
Evaluation of operational controls, including fuel usage tracking, route optimisation, and record-keeping transparency ensuring cost-efficiency and regulatory adherence.
Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) — Restore Your Green Status
A red OCRS score means high DVSA attention, more frequent inspections, and increased risk of sanctions or licence loss. Our audits precisely identify compliance failures impacting your score and deliver effective, practical remedies to return your operation to green, safeguarding your licence and minimising enforcement risk.
DVSA Desk-Based Assessments and Preparing Your Operation
DVSA Desk-Based Assessments (DBA) are remote document and compliance system reviews. Failure to satisfy DVSA standards during a DBA can result in warnings, fines, or licence suspension. Our pre-emptive audits pinpoint weaknesses and fill gaps beforehand, enhancing your defence and showing regulators your business is compliant and well-managed.
Driver Conduct Hearings — Protect Your Licence and Reputation
Driver conduct can influence licence validity. We help Peterborough operators by presenting strong evidence of compliance, identifying problems early, and supporting mitigation to maintain your licence and retain business trust.
Monthly Compliance Audits — Year-Round Regulatory Preparedness
Our subscription audit service ensures continuous compliance. Monthly audits keep your team sharp, your processes streamlined, and your operation ready for any DVSA inspection or audit, reducing stress and business risk.
