Downloads: 10+

This vehicle inspection report checklist helps drivers and fleet managers assess vehicle condition before use. Sections cover exterior and interior checks, including windscreen, lights, bumpers, bodywork, tires and tread, cleanliness, and safety equipment. Maintenance items include washers, oil, coolant, brake and transmission fluids, battery, horn, doors and locks, air conditioning, and checks for leaks and brake function. Documentation verification covers manuals, service history, accident forms, and emissions tests. A defect and damage log captures issues with locations, types, notes, and photos, plus sign-off for accountability. Use for daily or monthly pre-trip and post-trip inspections to improve safety, compliance, and maintenance planning.
