A vehicle on the lift – recurring inspections as a keeper's duty

Fleet management · Keeper liability

Keeper liability in your fleet.

UVV accident prevention inspections, HU and AU test deadlines and documentation duties – as the keeper of a vehicle you carry responsibility even when you are not the one driving.

Fleet management

Statutory duties kept in view.

As the keeper of a company vehicle you carry a series of duties under German law – regardless of who actually drives it. Where recurring inspections or records are missed, it is the keeper who is liable in case of doubt, not the driver.

UVV inspection

Keeping track of the recurring accident prevention inspection and scheduling it in good time.

HU & AU deadlines

Dates for the main roadworthiness test and the emissions test tracked centrally, rather than left to chance.

Load securing

Making sure vehicles are equipped for proper load securing and that the requirements are observed.

Record-keeping duties

Documentation kept so that it holds up before the authorities, an insurer or in a claim.

04

Frequently asked questions

Questions about keeper liability.

What happens if a UVV inspection is missed?
Where a claim arises, that can be treated as a breach of the keeper's duties and can increase the keeper's liability.
Who is liable for a breach – the driver or the keeper?
In principle the keeper, because the duty to organise rests with them, regardless of who was driving at the time.
Does the UVV obligation apply to every company vehicle?
Yes, it applies in principle to every vehicle used for work, not only to conventional commercial vehicles.
How is the documentation evidenced?
Through centrally filed records of inspections and briefings that can be retrieved at any time.
