Our Traffic Commissioner Audits
Protect Your Operator Licence with Expert Compliance Support
A Traffic Commissioner audit is a critical review of your transport operation, often triggered by DVSA investigations, public complaints, or compliance concerns. These audits assess how well your business is meeting its operator licence undertakings, and the outcome can have serious consequences.
Whether you're preparing for a public inquiry or want to identify compliance gaps before they escalate, a proactive audit is your best line of defence.
What Does a Traffic Commissioner Audit Cover?
The audit process can involve an in-depth review of:
Vehicle maintenance and inspection records
Tachograph data, driver hours, and WTD (Working Time Directive)
Daily defect reporting and rectification procedures
Transport manager responsibilities and oversight
Operator licence documentation and undertakings
Operating centre standards and vehicle authorisation
Policies and procedures
Dangerous goods information (where applicable)
Safe loading (for HGV companies)
PSVAR (for passenger transport companies)
Tyre maintenance
Audits may be ordered directly by the Traffic Commissioner, requested during licence applications or upgrades, or recommended following enforcement action.
