Driver walkaround app

The DVSA walkaround check — on the driver's phone.

Raahi replaces the paper defect book with a full DVSA-compliant daily walkaround your drivers do on their phone. Signed, timestamped and photographed — with defects flowing straight to the workshop and 15-month records kept automatically.

Why move your walkaround checks to an app?

A paper defect book technically complies with DVSA — right up until an officer asks for a record you can't find, or a two-minute "check" leaves a defect on the road. A digital walkaround check is stronger evidence and less work:

• Timestamped checks — DVSA can see a check was genuinely done, not rushed.
• Photo evidence of every defect, attached to the record.
• Nil-defect records captured automatically — no more missing "nothing wrong" records.
• 15-month retention, findable in seconds — not lost in a folder.
• Defects to the workshop instantly — rectify or sign off before the vehicle moves.

What's inside Raahi's walkaround

• The full daily defect check, aligned to the DVSA / FORS standard.
• Rigid, tractor unit, or unit + trailer — the check adapts.
• A built-in timer so quick checks are visible and defensible.
• Driver fitness & fuel-card prompts, odometer and fuel/AdBlue capture.
• Defect severity, rectification sign-off and a full audit trail.
• Works in English, Urdu, Polish and Punjabi — every driver checks in their own language.

Is a walkaround app DVSA compliant?

Yes. DVSA accepts app-based walkaround and defect reporting when it meets the same evidential standard as paper — dated, signed, complete, retained 15 months and available for inspection. Raahi is built to that standard. For the full rules, read our DVSA daily walkaround check guide.
