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. Future updates included.

How it works

You'll get a licence key and a short activation guide. Open the app at check.getroadworthy.co.uk, tap "Already bought it? Enter your licence key," paste it, and full access unlocks. Your key can be activated 3 times — that's counted per key entry, not per device, so clearing your browser data means activating again. Run out and we'll add more, free.

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.
