Transport Compliance Audits Manchester & North West
A useful audit must test what actually happens—not just whether a policy exists. MV samples the records, checks whether responsibilities are understood and identifies where weak controls could expose the Operator Licence, safety performance or customer reputation.

THE MV PROMISE
A straight, evidence-led view of the operation with actions that can be owned, tracked and closed.
Work that leaves a usable control behind.
- Pre-audit information request and scope confirmation
- Review of Operator Licence undertakings and declared arrangements
- Maintenance, PMI, brake test, MOT and defect record sampling
- Driver licence, CPC, induction, training and eyesight evidence review
- Drivers’ hours, working time and infringement-management checks
- RAG report, evidence references, priority actions and management close-out
Signs the operation needs attention.
- 01The business relies on one spreadsheet with no evidence trail
- 02Maintenance records are complete but quality is not being challenged
- 03Repeated infringements are treated as driver signatures rather than investigations
- 04Policies describe processes that staff do not follow
- 05Training is delivered but attendance, understanding or follow-up is not evidenced
- 06The operator only reviews compliance immediately before an audit or visit

Useful answers before we speak.
Is the audit confidential?+
Yes. The scope, report and findings are provided to the commissioning client unless disclosure is separately agreed or legally required.
Can you audit before a DVSA visit or FORS audit?+
