Desk Based Assessment - Are You Worried?
The DVSA remote Desk-Based Assessment Questionnaire (DBAQ) is probably perceived by most Vehicle Operators as the worst thing that could happen to them, even worse than an actual DVSA turning up unannounced, this is probably because its a ticking time bomb that needs to be defused carefully and quickly. Allow me to elaborate:

  • The DVSA Desk-Based Assessment Questionnaire (DBAQ) isn't just a bit of paperwork; it demands serious time and a proper eagle eye for detail across all your compliance. As you know, getting it wrong or missing bits out can lead to more hassle and potentially serious bother with the Traffic Commissioner.

  • You're bang on – you're often looking at digging up six months to a year's worth of data on selected vehicles: PMIs, DDIs, driver defect reports, invoices, tacho info, infringements, training records, CPC tracking, licence checks, brake tests, comms, AdBlue... the whole shebang!

  • Trying to decipher their technical questions and knowing how to answer them just right to keep the DVSA happy is a proper skill in itself. Don't waste precious time and risk getting it wrong. Let our experienced team take the weight off your shoulders.
