KCS Vehicle Bodywork and Tyre Inspection
This free KCS checklist helps drivers and fleet teams inspect HGVs and vans for bodywork damage and tyre safety. It captures vehicle registration, mileage, date, and personnel, then guides a visual review with photos of the front, driver side, rear, passenger side, load area, and cab interior. Tyre checks include identifying each wheel position, assessing condition, recording tread depth, and attaching images of defects or excessive wear. Close out with notes and a digital signature to document findings, streamline daily or weekly inspections, and support compliance and maintenance planning.
