Compliance Update

DVSA enforcement is tightening across 2024–2026, with operators expected to show stronger control over fleet safety, documentation, and Transport Manager oversight. Digital systems, consistent maintenance standards, and independent audits are now key indicators of a compliant operation.

Key points for operators:

• Transport Manager accountability is under closer scrutiny.

• Digital compliance records are becoming the industry standard.

• Maintenance quality and PMI consistency remain major enforcement focus areas.

• Independent audits help demonstrate proactive compliance and reduce risk.
