What’s involved in the HGV driver's D4 HGV medical in Leeds?
When attending your D4 HGV medical, you will complete a medical history questionnaire and participate in a physical examination. The exam includes an eyesight test with a Snellen chart and a blood pressure reading to satisfy DVLA regulations.
Vision assessment: A minimum visual acuity of 6/7.5 in one eye and 6/60 in the other, tested using a 3-metre Snellen chart, is required. If you use glasses or contact lenses for driving, have them with you, along with your prescription, for the assessment.
Blood pressure check: To satisfy the DVLA group 2 standard, your blood pressure must stay below 179/99. If your systolic pressure is consistently 180 or more, or your diastolic is 100 or above, you will not fulfill the requirements.
Medical questionnaire: You will be asked to provide information about your medical history, including conditions like epilepsy, seizures, insulin-dependent diabetes, and more. Properly managed conditions are unlikely to influence your application.
A doctor will fill out your D4 form based on your medical history, medications, and examination results. Usually, the entire process takes 15 minutes.
How often do I need a D4 HGV driver's medical in Leeds?
Professional drivers are required by the DVLA to undergo medical examinations at specific intervals. The first medical is needed at the start of your career. After that, from age 45, you’ll need a medical every five years until you reach 65. Once you turn 65, you’ll need to undergo a medical examination every year.

How will I know when I need a HGV driver's health check?
Prior to your medical, you’ll generally receive a reminder letter and a D4 medical form a few weeks in advance. The back of your HGV licence medical displays the expiry date to help you keep track. For licence renewals, DVLA sends the required paperwork by post 56 days before expiry.
