This ARTC Light Vehicle Inspection Checklist supports weekly pre-start inspections for fleet and site vehicles. Drivers record key details such as vehicle registration, odometer, and next service, then systematically verify tyres and wheels, bodywork, fluid levels (coolant, engine oil, washer, brake, power steering), windscreen and wipers, braking and steering, and all interior and exterior lights. The checklist also covers operational safety items including horn, reversing alarm, seat belts, first aid kit, fire extinguisher certification, and load security (toolboxes, side panels, straps, chains, and coverings). Faults and required repairs are captured for action, with instructions to immediately report any safety-critical issues. Ideal for maintaining roadworthiness, compliance, and safer fleet operations.
