This lorry vehicle inspection checklist helps drivers and inspectors identify defects and mechanical issues before each trip. It covers external and in cab checks, including fuel and fluid levels, tires and wheels, lights and signals, mirrors and glass, seatbelts, horn, brakes, dashboard warnings, and audible or visual alerts. Use it to document findings, decide if the vehicle is fit for service, needs repair, or requires parts replacement, and improve road safety and fleet compliance during daily pre use operations.
