Vehicle Maintenance Compliance Audits
We are now offering a more comprehensive range of services, including in-depth audits of maintenance systems. Our vehicle maintenance compliance audits can be provided either separately or in combination with our ‘Gold Standard’ Tachograph Systems and Audit services.
During our vehicle maintenance compliance audits, we will thoroughly test an operator’s maintenance systems against industry standards and the requirements set out in the Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness. Our aim is to ensure that your systems are fully compliant and capable of meeting the highest standards.
Unlike a simple ‘tick-box’ exercise, our audits are a rigorous test of your maintenance systems. We review every stage of the process to confirm that the correct procedures and records are in place and functioning effectively. We also ensure that drivers, mechanics, and maintenance providers are meeting the expectations of the Traffic Commissioner and Enforcement Authorities.
In addition to identifying areas of weakness, we go further to provide reliable, proven, and accepted solutions that support compliance and industry best practices. We take a holistic approach to identifying any weaknesses in your maintenance systems, including but not limited to:
- Maintenance supplier contracts
- In-house workshop systems
- Maintenance planner
- PMI intervals
- Daily defect systems
- PG9 investigation and report
- Administration staff knowledge

Ensure Continuous and Effective Management of Compliance
Many operators are not thoroughly audited and only a few undertake internal audits. Even fewer have a “tick-box” approach to auditing. This is problematic because as we have seen, many clients come to us after a major compliance issue has arisen, at which point the underlying problem has been detected by the enforcement body. Get in touch with us to find out more about you can proactively monitor and audit systems.
