Businesses that use several vehicles benefit from keeping their records organised. A simple checklist can make it easier to see which details need checking before a vehicle is used.
The GOV.UK vehicle tax service provides a way to check whether a vehicle is taxed or registered as off the road. Use the official service and the correct registration details.
Keep tax, MOT and insurance records together.
Each record answers a different question. A vehicle tax check does not confirm that the vehicle has suitable insurance, and an insurance document does not confirm its tax status.
Plan regular checks and allocate responsibility within the business. Keeping documents accessible can help when a vehicle changes, a renewal approaches or a driver needs information.
