An Operator Licence Audit for Transport Operators

Regular independent compliance audits for transport operators will protect your operator licence. MDR will undertake a full, independent audit of your existing systems, policies and practices, following the DVSA audit model.

Our Operator Licence Audit is designed to check your management systems and documents to make sure they meet the legal requirements of your operator licence. The goal is to reduce the risk to your operator licence.

Our independent auditors will assess your management systems and documents to ensure they comply with current legislation and identify any areas that need attention.

You'll receive a detailed report in five working days. The report summarises the audit findings, observations, and any recommendations.

You will be provided with advice and guidance based on the
findings on rectifying any issues found.


Whether you run one vehicle or 100, our audits are designed for all operations.
