On average a HGV medical takes 10-15 minutes to undertake.

You have your first medical when you apply. Thereafter, it is at the age of 45. Then, every 5 years until the age of 65. After which it is annually.

Any new medical issues are best discussed with your GP first. If they feel it is notifiable then you must notify the DVLA. Do not wait for your next medical to declare conditions.

The doctor will conduct an eye test. Then they will check your weight, height, blood pressure and listen to your heart. They will then take a detailed history of your current and past medical issues. The doctor will inform you if there are any issues.

A HGV medical costs £49.99 if booked online or £55.00 if booked over the phone.

It is possible to fail. Simply Medicals provides a free re-test if there are any issues with your medical. So you can sort them out with your GP and get a re-test and pass. There are some conditions that are barred for HGV driving. The doctor will inform you if this is the case for your medical condition.

This is a mandatory health assessment to check if a driver is fit to drive.
