FleetForge helps UK transport operators prepare for DVSA roadside inspections by keeping walkaround check records, defect history, driver compliance data, and vehicle documents accessible on a mobile phone. Teams use FleetForge to demonstrate at the roadside that their vehicles are roadworthy, their drivers are legally entitled to drive, and their compliance records are up to date.
Drivers and managers can access walkaround check records, defect history, and vehicle compliance status from the FleetForge mobile app at the roadside.
Every completed walkaround check is stored with date, time, driver, vehicle, and result. Show DVSA that your drivers carry out daily checks.
Produce a complete defect and repair history for any vehicle instantly. Show DVSA that defects are reported, repaired, and signed off.
Show that your drivers hold valid licences, CPC certificates, and medicals. FleetForge tracks expiry dates and alerts you before they lapse.
Access MOT certificates, insurance documents, and PMI records from your phone. No need to carry paper files or ring the office.
If a vehicle has been marked off-road for a defect, the status is visible in the app. Prevent a vehicle with an unresolved safety issue from being driven.
Before each journey, the driver completes a digital walkaround check on their phone. The record is stored against the vehicle automatically.
If a defect is found, it is logged with a photo and description. The repair is tracked through to sign-off, creating a complete history.
FleetForge tracks MOT, PMI, licence, and CPC expiry dates and alerts you before they lapse, so your records are always up to date.
When stopped by DVSA, access your walkaround records, defect history, and driver compliance data from the FleetForge app on your phone.
DVSA carries out roadside inspections to check that vehicles are roadworthy and that drivers are complying with regulations. Inspectors may check vehicle condition, driver hours, licences, and documentation. If a serious defect is found, the vehicle can be prohibited from continuing its journey.
Operators should be able to demonstrate that they have a roadworthiness system in place — including daily walkaround checks, defect reporting, and maintenance scheduling. The DVSA HGV inspection manual sets out the standards used during inspections.
