They send these letters to any address where there isn’t a TV licence, or they think there isn’t one.
It’s a fishing expedition; they really have no idea if you are breaking the rules by watching live TV or the BBC iPlayer or not.
And all this stuff about detector vans wasn’t true for 405 lines back in the day, and it certainly isn’t true for today’s very different kit.
If they come and want to inspect your premises, you don’t have to let them in; without your permission to inspect, they need a court order to come in.
They may decide it’s not worth the hassle; or they may get one and come back mob-handed. So if you have nothing to hide, let them in, so they can see you have no TV, or that no TV you have has an aerial connection.
They may wonder (out loud) if you have any devices capable of showing live TV, or the BBC iPlayer, but the crime isn’t possessing, it’s using, so as long as you aren’t actually watching live TV when you let them in (!) there will be nothing for them to find.
I daresay they could subpoena EETV’s records of your recent history; but if you are clear that you know the rules and aren’t breaking them, they will likely not bother to do this.
