HGV Defect Checker — Full Unlock

Drive it or park it? Know in seconds.

Found a defect on your walkaround? The HGV Defect Checker looks it up against DVSA's own published Categorisation of Vehicle Defects and tells you instantly: is it legal to drive, what would an examiner do, and what's the likely penalty — before an examiner tells you.

This is the one-off £2.99 full-access unlock for the app. Written by a working UK Lead Transport Manager — the tool I wanted myself: quick, accurate, and based on the rules an examiner actually uses.

Try it free first

The app gives you 3 free checks and a printable roadside defect card, no sign-up. This unlock removes the limit.

What full access gives you

✅ Unlimited defect checks — no three-check limit

✅ Every defect across HGV, van & trailer

✅ Drive-it / fix-it / park-it verdict, plus the examiner's likely action and the penalty

✅ Works on your phone at the roadside — one-handed, no faff

✅ £2.99 once — no subscription, ever. Yours for good, including future updates.

How it works

You'll get a licence key and a short activation guide. Open the app at hgv-defect-checker.pages.dev, tap "Already bought it? Enter your licence key," paste it, and full access unlocks. Works on up to 3 of your own devices.

Good to know

Based on DVSA's published guidance (Categorisation of Vehicle Defects). Independent — not affiliated with, or endorsed by, DVSA. A guide, not legal advice — always check against current guidance; enforcement is the examiner's decision on the day.
