UK DVSA Operator Licence audit + Traffic Commissioner Public Inquiry brief generator. The compliance toolkit the 44,660 UK O-licence holders wish their TM had at hand. By MEOK AI Labs.

Why this exists

UK general haulage runs on the O-licence — granted by the Traffic Commissioner under the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995. Lose it and the business is over.

Recent Traffic Commissioner public decisions (2024-25) include:

• Steven Davies — disqualified from holding an O-licence for 4 years (Senior TC decision)
• Maurice Murphy — disqualified indefinitely as TM and operator
• Mark Rowland — disqualified 12 months, repute lost
• Tom Kingston — disqualified following maintenance investigation
• Cheryl James — TM repute lost, revocation upheld
• Robert Ogilvie — disqualified, repute lost, multiple PG9s

A single Public Inquiry typically costs £8,000-£25,000 in legal fees, drives insurance premiums up £20,000-£100,000/yr, and can end the business in licence revocation. The wedge of avoidance is enormous.

This MCP gives named Transport Managers, owner-operators, and transport solicitors the callable toolkit for:

• Comprehensive O-licence audit across all 11 statutory areas
• Financial standing check (£8,400 first vehicle + £4,600 each additional, 2026 rates)
• TM continuous + effective control test (Senior TC Statutory Guidance)
• PMI cadence audit (6-week or 4-week specialist windows)
• Public Inquiry defence-brief generator — the existential wedge
• PI risk forecasting (weeks_to_likely_PI)
• Repute scoring (Good / At Risk / Lost)
• 24h-before-DVSA-visit evidence pack
• Subcontractor due diligence
