About Your LGV Medical
LGV (Large Goods Vehicle) is the official UK term for what most drivers call an HGV licence. The medical examination is identical — a DVLA D4 assessment covering vision, cardiovascular health, and overall fitness to drive vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. Same-day D4 form completion from £55.
Understanding DVLA D4 Medical Requirements
The DVLA D4 medical examination is mandatory for all professional drivers seeking to obtain or renew Group 2 driving licences. This health assessment ensures drivers meet the medical standards required for safe operation of large commercial vehicles and passenger transport across the UK. Our GMC-registered doctors conduct examinations following current DVLA guidelines, with same-day D4 form completion from £55.

- Your DVLA D4 medical examination form (download from gov.uk if needed)
