Frequently Asked Questions

If your van is used commercially and weighs over 3.5 tonnes, a daily walkaround check is a legal requirement before the vehicle is driven. Even for lighter commercial vans, DVSA strongly recommends one and roadside checks can ask for evidence. Owner-drivers are not exempt; the responsibility sits with whoever drives the vehicle that day.
Most owner-drivers complete the 19-point van check in 5 to 10 minutes. The app guides you through each item with simple pass or fail options. If everything passes, you can finish the check in a single pass. Failed items prompt you to take a photo and add a short description, which adds about a minute per defect.
No. Autodue handles both in one app. Your personal cars get free MOT and tax reminders with DVLA sync; your work van gets the daily walkaround check workflow plus the same reminders. Cars stay free for personal use, so you only pay if you take on a second commercial van.
Each check stores the date and time, GPS coordinates, the driver who performed it (you), every check-point response, and any photos you took on failed items. The check is bundled into a compliance PDF with a unique verification code so a roadside enforcement officer can verify the record on the spot. Records are retained on your account so you can produce a history when asked.
Your data stays in your account and exports to CSV any time. If you change vehicle, you remove the old registration and add the new one with no loss of historical checks or expenses. If you stop trading, you can delete your account and we remove your data per our privacy policy.
