What is a D4 Medical?

A D4 medical is a health assessment required by the DVLA for anyone who drives professionally. The name comes from the official form  the D4 Medical Examination Report  which must be completed by a GMC-registered doctor.
You might hear it called: D4 medical (official DVLA term) | HGV medical (lorry drivers) | LGV medical | Group 2 medical | Driver medical. They all refer to the same examination.

What's Included in the Examination?

Lorry drivers (HGV/LGV) require a D4 medical for lorry drivers when applying for their first license. After turning 45, they must complete a new medical every five years, and after 65, an annual medical is required to ensure they meet DVLA health standards.

The cost of an HGV/LGV, PCV medical is only £45.

To apply for a new Group 2 licence or renew an existing one, you must complete a DVLA D4 Medical examination with a GMC-registered doctor. This ensures both driver safety and compliance with DVLA regulations. Additionally, it helps detect any underlying medical conditions that may affect your ability to drive.

We provide low-cost DVLA D4 medicals, including an eye test if required. Book your D4 medical today at an affordable price.
