On 5 April 2026, the Traffic Commissioner for the West Midlands revoked the commercial vehicle operator licence of Mr Sukhvinder Singh. The decision follows a public inquiry held 5 February 2026 that found repeated failures in vehicle maintenance, record keeping and compliance with operator obligations. The inquiry highlighted that Singh’s 38‑year‑old Mercedes had suffered long gaps between required maintenance checks, with a 208‑day delay between PMIs, and six consecutive MOT failures. Singh had also spent months in India without notifying the Office of the Traffic Commissioner and allowed a driver to run the operation, breaching oversight duties. The Commissioner stated that road safety had been at real risk and that Singh was unfit to hold a licence. The revocation will take effect at 23:45 on 5 April 2026, after which he may not operate any vehicle over 3.5 tonnes for commercial use without a licence.
