Please find attached the single report we hold, noting that we have a three year data retention period for vehicle inspection reports.

In accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation some information has been withheld from the report, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle of Article 5 of the General Data Protection Regulation which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

For further information regarding our private hire vehicle licensing criteria and inspection process please visit: www.tfl.gov.uk/info-for/taxis-and-private-hire/licensing/private-hire-vehicle-licence.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
