Prohibition Notice
A prohibition notice is issued by a DVSA inspector when a vehicle is found to have a serious defect that makes it unsafe to continue its journey. Tyre defects — such as exposed cords, illegal tread depth, or incorrect fitment — are among the most common reasons for prohibitions. An immediate prohibition means the vehicle cannot move until the defect is rectified on the spot.
