Purpose-Built for HGV Compliance

27-Point DVSA HGV Walkaround Check

All 27 DVSA inspection points purpose-built for HGVs. Air brakes, coupling security, spray suppression, trailer brake lines, and every other item your drivers need to check.

Annual Test Tracking

HGVs don't have an MOT — they have an Annual Test. Add your reg and Autodue automatically fetches your Annual Test expiry and sends push reminders before it's due.

Tachograph Calibration Reminders

Track when each vehicle's tachograph was last calibrated and get reminders before the 2-year expiry. Never risk a DVSA prohibition for an expired calibration.

Operator Licence Storage

Store your O-licence number against your organisation. It appears on compliance PDFs and audit exports, strengthening your compliance records for the Traffic Commissioner.

Correct Odometer Units

European HGVs report in kilometres, not miles. Autodue reads the correct unit from official records and displays it accurately — no more silent conversions.

Compliance PDFs with Verification

Every walkaround check generates a professional compliance PDF with a unique verification code. Show it to DVSA at roadside — it proves your drivers are doing proper checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Autodue's HGV walkaround check covers all 27 DVSA inspection points from the official "Carry out daily heavy goods vehicle (HGV) walkaround checks" guidance. The check is split into inside (9 items) and outside (18 items) sections, matching the DVSA structure exactly. Each completed check produces a timestamped compliance PDF with a unique verification code.
HGVs over 3.5 tonnes have an Annual Test, not an MOT. It's conducted by DVSA at approved testing stations and the data comes from DVSA's CVS records. Autodue detects your vehicle type automatically and pulls the correct Annual Test data. You'll see "Annual Test" labels everywhere — never "MOT".
Yes. Tachograph calibration records are not available through any public API. You'll need to enter the last calibration date once per vehicle. Autodue then calculates the 2-year expiry and sends you reminders before it's due. You can update it from the app whenever you get a new calibration.
Yes. Autodue detects whether your HGV is articulated or rigid from the DVLA wheelplan data. The 27-point HGV checklist includes trailer-specific items (coupling security, brake lines, electrical connections) which appear for all HGVs — drivers can mark them as N/A when not pulling a trailer.
Your first HGV is free with all features included — walkaround checks, Annual Test tracking, tachograph reminders, the lot. Additional HGVs start at £2.99/month (Pro, 2 vehicles) up to £19.99/month (Max, 11 vehicles with unlimited managed vehicles). No contracts, cancel anytime.
Any UK business operating HGVs over 3.5 tonnes commercially must hold an Operator Licence (O-licence) issued by the Traffic Commissioner. The licence number format is typically "OC" followed by digits, e.g. OC1234567. Autodue stores this on your organisation profile and includes it on compliance PDFs, strengthening your audit trail. It's optional — you can skip it and add it later.
