It covers tyres and wheels, exterior bodywork, windows, mirrors and wipers, all exterior lighting, and interior condition. It includes inventory checks for safety items like high visibility vest, wheel brace, jack, first aid kit and fire extinguisher. Under the hood, confirm fluid levels for oil, coolant and power steering, check for leaks, and ensure washer fluid is filled. Validate vehicle operation, including wipers, washers, dashboard indicators, central locking, brakes, horn and general performance. Add notes for issues needing immediate attention, items requiring follow up and general comments, then sign off to complete the weekly inspection.
