When you are audited by VOSA / DVSA / Traffic Commissioners, they will always want to see the following 3 most important things, so make sure to always have them available at least for the last 15 months:
- Vehicle and trailer safety inspection reports by your maintenance company every 6-12 weeks depending on your licence.
- Driver daily walk-around inspection sheets (on paper or phone app).
- Tachograph (drivers’ hours) records on Tachomaster or other software.
If you don’t have these records by the time you receive a DVSA enforcement letter about an audit, it will impossible to produce them and your operator’s licence will be revoked.
